Update Botman Studio to Laravel 9+ & PHP 8.1+

[jalexmelendez]

I have a non-official repository fixing some issues with compatibility, nonetheless i would suggest a re-write of the entire library and studio framework using Laravel 10 and PHP 8.2.

Some drivers need to be updated too, I personally updated the driver for Messenger, but it would be nice for the organization to update them.

I can happily offer myself as a volunteer to join forces to update botman, I'm pretty sure a lot of people would like to participate too...

Check out BotStart. It is an installer that setups up Botman in any version of Laravel. It is like BotMan Studio on steroids, and for any (even future) versions.
