not possible to require as a composer dependency on 2.4.7

[convenient]

Describe the bug

It is not possible to require magerun as a dev dependency on 2.4.7

Expected behaviour

On an instance of 2.4.7 this command works

composer require n98/magerun2:"*" --dev --no-interaction

Steps to reproduce the issue

Here's a bash script

#!/bin/bash
set -ev
mkdir testinstall
cd testinstall
composer create-project --repository="https://repo-magento-mirror.fooman.co.nz/" magento/project-community-edition . --no-install --no-plugins
composer config --unset repo.0
composer config repo.composerrepository composer "https://repo-magento-mirror.fooman.co.nz/"
composer require n98/magerun2:"*" --dev --no-interaction --no-update
composer install --no-scripts --no-plugins

Here's the output

$ bash create.sh
mkdir testinstall
cd testinstall
composer create-project --repository="https://repo-magento-mirror.fooman.co.nz/" magento/project-community-edition . --no-install --no-plugins

  Problem 1
    - n98/magerun2[1.0.0, ..., 1.1.17] require symfony/finder ~2.3 -> found symfony/finder[v2.3.0, ..., v2.8.52] but it conflicts with your root composer.json require (^6.4).
    - n98/magerun2[1.2.0, ..., 1.6.0, 2.0.0, ..., 2.3.3] require symfony/finder ~2.3||~3.0 -> found symfony/finder[v2.3.0, ..., v2.8.52, v3.0.0, ..., v3.4.47] but it conflicts with your root composer.json require (^6.4).
    - n98/magerun2[3.0.0, ..., 3.2.0, 4.0.0, ..., 4.1.0] require php ^7.0.0 -> your php version (8.1.28) does not satisfy that requirement.
    - n98/magerun2[4.2.0, ..., 4.7.0] require php ^7.1 -> your php version (8.1.28) does not satisfy that requirement.
    - n98/magerun2[4.8.0, ..., 4.9.1, 5.0.0, ..., 5.2.0, 6.0.0, ..., 6.1.1] require symfony/finder ~5.3 -> found symfony/finder[v5.3.0, ..., v5.4.35] but it conflicts with your root composer.json require (^6.4).
    - n98/magerun2[7.0.0, ..., 7.4.0] require symfony/finder ^5.4 -> found symfony/finder[v5.4.0, ..., v5.4.35] but it conflicts with your root composer.json require (^6.4).
    - Root composer.json requires n98/magerun2 * -> satisfiable by n98/magerun2[1.0.0, ..., 1.6.0, 2.0.0, ..., 2.3.3, 3.0.0, ..., 3.2.0, 4.0.0, ..., 4.9.1, 5.0.0, ..., 5.2.0, 6.0.0, 6.0.1, 6.1.0, 6.1.1, 7.0.0, ..., 7.4.0].

This is because 2.4.7 requires symfony/finder like so

But magerun does like so

@convenient We cannot support this anymore because of the wide range of dependencies of different Magento versions. That's why the n98/magerun2-dist package was introduced which delivers the phar file without any package dependencies.

@cmuench Ahh amazing thanks. I hadn't spotted it as this was the first time I'd seen composer require n98/magerun2:"*" fail since 2.3.7ish :) Now I know, thanks.
