PHP 8.0/8.1 compatibility

My extension dropbox should be compatible with PHP 8.0 and 8.1, but the used PHP SDK kunalvarma05/dropbox-php-sdk installs a complete out-dated tightenco/collect in version 5.2 which is not compatible with PHP 8.0. That’s why I have added the complete tightenco/collect package into my dropbox extension and updated the out-dated classes on my own. See: https://github.com/kunalvarma05/dropbox-php-sdk/pull/191
