See if we can leverage composer 2.4's new bump feature

[jeffwidman]

Composer 2.4 added a new bump option: https://blog.packagist.com/composer-2-4/

We may be able to leverage this a bit more directly for bumping versions in composer.json. See the caveats about doing it for libraries on that blog post.

Just to put here what was mentioned elsewhere. I think the bump just increases the json to the currently installed version so doesn’t update anything except the minimum requirement and only updates it what’s already installed

Ah yeah, looks like you're right: https://php.watch/articles/composer-bump

They're adding a --dry-run flag too, but regardless doesn't really add any value for us.

And thanks again @driskell really appreciate you swinging by to dispense some knowledge.
