 In order to maintain PHP 5.6.20 support and add support for PHP 8,
 Composer is currently being used to force PHPUnit 7.x for PHP 8 (see
 r49037). It would be great to have an NPM command that makes it easier to
 run the test suite with the Composer installed version of PHPunit.

 Something like `npm run test:php8`. It could also be more general (maybe
 `npm run test:php-composer`) in case the Composer installed version is
 desired past this compatibility shim.
