The dependency on doctrine/annotations should become an optional one

The doctrine/annotations is expected to be marked as abandoned soon by the Doctrine team: doctrine/annotations#485

It would be great to make the dependency on doctrine/annotations optional so that projects that have migrated to attributes don't need to install it anymore.

Side note: it would probably make sense to deprecate the support for annotations in favor of attributes (maybe it makes sense to first drop support for PHP 7.x though).

HI!
Thanks for letting us know! :)
At the moment we are in the middle of the migration, as such change will be backward incompatible.
I think at the moment the last PR that is needed is: #1471

Best, scyzoryck

This can be closed, the latest release has made annotations and optional dependency.
