Time to drop annotations

[fogrye]

Doctrine annotations was deprecated since php 8.0 release, should we drop support of them as php7 is not supported and there are no other reason not to use attributes?

Yes, they've been deprecated for quite a bit now. I think now that 7.0 has been released, now is a suitable time to replace them with PHP attributes and remove the Doctrine annotation lib as a dependency.
