PHP 8.4: Avoid deprecated notice

[gharlan]

Deprecated: PascalDeVink\ShortUuid\ShortUuid::__construct(): Implicitly marking parameter $alphabet as nullable is deprecated, the explicit nullable type must be used instead in vendor/pascaldevink/shortuuid/src/ShortUuid.php on line 34

@pascaldevink we're running into this notice when upgrading to PHP 8.4, any chance this can get merged? I can send an MR to add 8.4 support if you can commit to a release afterwards 🙏

@pascaldevink Since I know that maintaining open source software can sometimes be a pain and you don't always have time for it, I don't want to put any pressure on you.

But since the last commit was over 2 years ago, I would like to ask what your plans are with this package?
Do you plan to continue maintaining it and creating new releases when you find some time? Then I will wait patiently.
Or do you actually not want to continue maintaining it? Then we should consider whether someone should create a fork. Or would you like to add someone here in the repo as a contributor with merge+release permissions?
