Better Passport install instructions in Laravel Passport docs for L6 LTS

[meredevelopment]

Seeing that Laravel 6 is still - at the time of writing - the LTS version, I think the Laravel Passport docs should specify the version of Passport that is supported.

If users follow the current docs and do composer require laravel/passport they will end up with a "Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages." error.

Would it be a good idea to add a note, or suggest that L6 users run composer require laravel/passport "^9.0"?
Or is there a better version / way to deal with this? I see a LOT of questions about this problem/error on Stack Exchange, here, Laracasts etc.

Happy to PR the docs, but wanted opinions first please.

Please see #1387

Thanks @driesvints, missed that issue/PR.

So when #1387 is merged, will composer require laravel/passport work for L6 installers? Or will they have to specify v9 of Passport still. Sorry I don't know much about dependency trees.

You'll need to require v9

Ok thanks, so a tweak to the Laravel v6 Docs is a good idea.

@meredevelopment feel free to PR something.
