Upgrade symfony/console

[stevenrombauts]

The symfony/console package version is currently locked at 2.7.x, while 4.0 is already released. Update composer.json and the code accordingly.

as a workaround so far, I use https://github.com/consolidation/cgr, otherwise I can't install due to other tools including symfony itself require ^4.0 thus end up in lot of dependency conflicts

@stevenrombauts Is this something we can resolve with priority in a maintenance release?

[stevenrombauts]

@glumanda99 You can use this branch now to install alongside packages that require the newer symfony/console: composer global require joomlatools/console:dev-feature/86-symfony, until we release this.

@johanjanssens I've updated the dependency and tested the commands, we can put this out in a maintenance release. One issue, on Vagrant box we have phing/phing installed, which also relies on older symfony/console. The auto-updater in the box will attempt to download latest joomlatools/console, but that will break.

We can add a FAQ item on how to solve that (removing phing/phing is the best option here, we don't use it on JT Vagrant box at all.)

Thoughts?

[johanjanssens]

If are not using phing lets remove it. Could warrant a maintenance release of the box too, or can the uninstall be handled during composer update?

[stevenrombauts]

@johanjanssens Rolling out a little maintenance release for the box will be the best way forward. Adding a hook and logic to remove it is probably going to be complicated and result in one big hack.

I'll prepare a maintenance release, should also fix joomlatools/joomlatools-vagrant#123 and joomlatools/joomlatools-vagrant#121 along with this Console issue.

[stevenrombauts]

Note: we still require this for building packages, so we need to upgrade it on the box. Ticket has been amended.

[johanjanssens]

@stevenrombauts agreed.

@glumanda99 This change has been included in the v1.5.1 release.
