Bump php/symfony dependencies or make it less strict

[ITspirit]

Bump Dependencies or make it less strict. Otherwise these tool will be blocked out for further usage.

Currently lot of dependencies are really selective, without need.

    "require": {
        "php": "^8.0|^7.3",
        "symfony/console": "^5.4.9",
        "symfony/process": "^5",
        "symfony/yaml": "^5"
    },

Why not make it less strict?

    "require": {
        "php": ">=7.3",
        "symfony/console": ">=5.4.9",
        "symfony/process": ">=5",
        "symfony/yaml": ">=5"
    },

So i could use it in projects with much modern dependencies.

Any concerns about this?

I know it's a specific use case, but the problem arises for us when we include the project's composer autoloader in our deploy.php to be able to use some custom recipe's we published in our own composer packages.

This also loads a more recent version of symfony/console resulting in the following error for us:

PHP Fatal error: Declaration of Deployer\Component\PharUpdate\Console\Command::execute(Symfony\Component\Console\Input\InputInterface $input, Symfony\Component\Console\Output\OutputInterface $output) must be compatible with Symfony\Component\Console\Command\Command::execute(Symfony\Component\Console\Input\InputInterface $input, Symfony\Component\Console\Output\OutputInterface $output): int
