Upgrade the gem to be rails 8.0 compatible

[Copilot]

Pull request overview

Updates metasploit_data_models to be compatible with Rails 8.0 by relaxing Rails-related gem constraints and adjusting code paths that depend on ActiveRecord’s serialization API differences across versions.

Changes:

• Widen Rails/ActiveRecord/ActiveSupport/Railties dependency constraints to allow Rails 7.x through 8.0.
• Update serialize version-gating logic to treat Rails/ActiveRecord 8.0 as “>= 7.1” behavior.
• Adjust the dummy Rails app configuration for Rails 8 connection handling.

The metasploit-model runtime dependency was widened from ~> 5.0.4 to >= 5.0, < 7.0, which both lowers the minimum allowed version (to 5.0.0) and allows the entire 6.x series. If the gem relies on fixes introduced in 5.0.4+ (or if 6.x has breaking changes), this can cause unexpected resolution/runtime issues. Consider keeping the previous minimum (e.g., >= 5.0.4) and only widening the upper bound as needed, or document/test against the newly-allowed major range.

Suggested change

	s.add_runtime_dependency 'metasploit-model', '>= 5.0', '< 7.0'
	s.add_runtime_dependency 'metasploit-model', '>= 5.0.4', '< 7.0'

Is this code change needed? 🤔

yes, to handle 8.0 - which would have the minor as 0 👍
