New description:

 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
 r48957 and 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.
