Modernize codebase for v7

The aim for v7 is to modernize the codebase while keeping the upgrade path easy. Modern PHP/Laravel features, Pest tests, but no big architectural changes. A future v8 could then tackle larger changes and streamline the package more fundamentally.

Version requirements

• Requires PHP ^8.4 and Laravel ^12.0
• Test suite uses Pest ^3.0

Service provider

• Converted to PackageServiceProvider from spatie/laravel-package-tools
• Removed Lumen support

Class renames

• Event classes now have an Event suffix (PermissionAttached → PermissionAttachedEvent, etc.)
• Command classes now have a Command suffix (CacheReset → CacheResetCommand, etc.)

Type safety

• Added return types and parameter types throughout traits, middleware, exceptions, contracts, and commands

Code modernization

• is_a($this, X::class) → $this instanceof X
• get_class($obj) → $obj::class
• strpos($x, $y) !== false → str_contains($x, $y)
• Constructor promotion in WildcardPermission
• Proper use imports for global classes

Cleanup

• Removed deprecated clearClassPermissions() method
• Removed __construct from Wildcard contract
• Modernized migration stubs

Testing

• Converted entire test suite from PHPUnit to Pest (#2912)
