v0.15.1

🛠 It's a small maintenance update.

We raised some dependencies to ensure people aren't running the library with too much outdated deps.
For example, we raised tecnickcom/tcpdf to ^6.2.22 to ensure people aren't running the version containing a security issue (see https://packagist.org/packages/tecnickcom/tcpdf/advisories?version=2463879).

The library wasn't tested for PHP version < 5.6 so we drop minimum PHP version to 5.6.
There is a new test build which check the library is running ok on the lowest dependencies available.

We also introduced PHP-CS-Fixer (mainly for developement) to ensure coding styles is ok.

Last but not least, there are new maintainers of the lib along with @smalot:

• @amooij
• @k00ni
• @j0k3r

Merged PRs:

• Define lowest deps #290
• Add FriendsOfPHP/PHP-CS-Fixer to "require-dev" to enforce coding styles #292
