Rector 2.0 is here 🥳

The main purpose of this release is performance improvements, thanks to modern dependencies:

• php-parser 4.x to 5.0
• PHPStan 1.x to 2.0
• and min PHP version 7.2 to 7.4 because of dependencies above

But we've few pretty cool features like composer-based sets and --only option as well. See release notes bellow.

For custom rules writers, see upgrading guide. The rest of upgrade is straighforward 🎉

To celebrate the upgrade, we're also modernized our logo! 🤩
