Add Laravel 13 support

[nielseulink]

Summary

• Widen illuminate/* version constraints from ^9 || ^10 || ^11 || ^12 to ^9 || ^10 || ^11 || ^12 || ^13
• Widen laravel/framework (require-dev) to include ^13
• Update orchestra/testbench to include ^11 for Laravel 13 test compatibility

Laravel 13 was released and this change allows Lighthouse to be installed alongside it. The illuminate/* components in Laravel 13 follow the same patterns as previous versions, so no code changes should be needed.

@nielseulink Was just about to do similar - thanks!

I presume they'll want .github/workflows/validate.yml updating too to run tests against L13.

[nielseulink]

@Luke-Shepp Yeah, good one!

Why remove explanatory comments?

[spawnia]

That comment should stay.

Looks like nothing works yet.

bensampo/laravel-enum is going to be blocking. What should we do about that? It looks like it won't be updated for Laravel 13 so we either drop it here (which would require a major release) or we do need to do a release for L13 at bensampo/laravel-enum anyway.

@stayallive Alternatives like archtechx/enums don't work ?

[Luke-Shepp]

It's looking like a new major version dropping PHP 8.0 support and the BenSampo enum package is the only way to go -- in favour of native enums.

There doesn't seem to be any chance of the package getting updated, see BenSampo/laravel-enum#366, so dropping support really is the only option.

Anyone on Laravel 13 will be dropping BenSampo/laravel-enum themselves as part of the upgrade, so nuwave/lighthouse not supporting it is no issue.

@Luke-Shepp good point, let's go with it.

As far as Lighthouse is concerned, the support for BenSampo/laravel-enum is only an adapter. We should remove the package from require-dev when installing Laravel 13, then skip tests and static analysis for it. That way, we don't have to wait and don't have to break existing users.
