Problem/Motivation

Friends of behat was forked to be compatible with higher versions of Symfony and with PHP 8, now, the latest version of "behat/mink-browserkit-driver": "^2.1", is compatible with it, so is not necessary to require this package anymore, and seems to be deprecated.

The drupal 10 core, already fixed it on https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/3264903

behat/mink-browserkit-driver is compatible with Symfony 4, 5 and 6, so it is not a breaking change.

Also, this makes to be incompatible with drupalextension see the issue https://github.com/jhedstrom/drupalextension/issues/637

Steps to reproduce

drupalextension requires

"behat/mink-browserkit-driver": "^2.1.0",

and core-dev requires

"friends-of-behat/mink-browserkit-driver": "^1.4",

So it collides.

wodby@php.container:/var/www/html $ composer require "drupal/drupal-extension:v5.0.0alpha1 as v4.3.1" drupal/core-dev:~9.5.3 friends-of-behat/mink-browserkit-driver:^1.6.1  -W --dev

  Problem 1
    - Root composer.json requires drupal/drupal-extension v5.0.0alpha1 as v4.3.1 -> satisfiable by drupal/drupal-extension[v5.0.0alpha1].
    - Only one of these can be installed: behat/mink-browserkit-driver[v2.1.0, 2.x-dev], friends-of-behat/mink-browserkit-driver[v1.6.1]. friends-of-behat/mink-browserkit-driver replaces behat/mink-browserkit-driver and thus cannot coexist with it.
    - drupal/drupal-extension v5.0.0alpha1 requires behat/mink-browserkit-driver ^2.1.0 -> satisfiable by behat/mink-browserkit-driver[v2.1.0, 2.x-dev].
    - Root composer.json requires friends-of-behat/mink-browserkit-driver ^1.6.1 -> satisfiable by friends-of-behat/mink-browserkit-driver[v1.6.1].

Proposed resolution

Require "behat/mink-browserkit-driver": "^2.1.0", instead of friends-of-behat/mink-browserkit-driver.

As I said in the drupalextension issue, I can pretty much guarantee you that core will not make this change in Drupal 9.5 anymore, this is not a change that will happen in a patch release.

Berdir, this is not a breaking change and removes a deprecated package, and the change is already on Drupal 10, so we can try, maybe it can be merged because is an easy change to apply and with no risk.
