Rewrite PHPUnit test scaffolding to work with PHP 8.0+ compat code #285
Description
The way the PHPUnit tests are currently being scaffolded does not work with PHP 8.0+:
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected token "match", expecting identifier in
phar://phpunit/Framework/MockObject/Builder/Match.php on line 15
To fix this, the tests should be scaffolded in such a way that they make use of the WordPress Core compatibility code found in https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/49037. However, that will require a rewrite to make the scaffolded tests rely on PHPUnit being executed as a Composer dev dependency.

Just remove
if ( PHP_MAJOR_VERSION >= 8 ) { echo "The scaffolded tests cannot currently be run on PHP 8.0+. See https://github.com/wp-cli/scaffold-command/issues/285" . PHP_EOL; // phpcs:ignore WordPress.Security.EscapeOutput.OutputNotEscaped exit( 1 ); }from bootstrap.php
removed php8 limitation, wp says it's okay: wp-cli/scaffold-command#285
