Laravel Batch v2.5.1

A bug-fix release for v2.5.0. All v2.5.0 users should upgrade, especially on PHP 7.

What's Changed

• Fix PHP 7 support and v2.5.0 regressions by @mavinoo in #123

Fixed

• PHP 7.1 – 7.4: v2.5.0 failed with syntax error, unexpected '|'. Nullable
  parameters are now declared as ?string, which works on PHP 7.1 through 8.5
  and still avoids the PHP 8.4 deprecation notice.
• MySQL / MariaDB: updated_at is updated again for rows that change, in
  update(), updateWithTwoIndex() and updateMultipleCondition().
• updated_at is now updated when a column changes from NULL to a value.
• An explicit updated_at passed for one row is kept when other rows in the
  same call get the automatic timestamp.
• updateWithTwoIndex() writes values the same way as v2.4.1 again: leading
  zeros are kept ('0912…'), false is stored as 0, and string values work
  on PostgreSQL.
• updateMultipleCondition() no longer fails with
  Method Illuminate\Support\Stringable::toString does not exist on older
  Laravel versions (#118).

updated_at is still only touched when a value actually changes (#120), and
now this works on every database.

Upgrading

No code changes are needed:

composer update mavinoo/laravel-batch

Tested on PHP 7.1 – 8.5, with Laravel 8 and 11, on MySQL/MariaDB, PostgreSQL and SQLite.
