As outlined in a [Swift forums post in November ’21](https://forums.swift.org/t/swiftnio-swift-version-support/53232), SwiftNIO will only support the latest non-patch Swift release and the 2 immediately prior non-patch versions.
- drop support for Swift 5.2 and 5.3.
- update CI for Swift 5.4 to run on bionic instead of focal to ensure that we still test bionic.
- add a CI job for Swift 5.7
Motivation:
We have a weird availability model for NIOTS since we can build it even
if Network.framework isn't available: we don't document this anywhere.
Modifications:
Explain supported platform model in the README.
Result:
Better documentation.
* Include updated wording about including NIO Transport Services in a project
* Add clause about usage in Xcode 10
* Update README.md
Commit suggestion

Motivation:
Stuff needs updating if you ship new major versions as it turns out.
Modification:
update readme to reflect the new, shiny NIO 2 world.
Result:
more accurate docs
Motivation:
SwiftPM from Swift 5.0 brings targets that only support certain systems
which is really handy for this package as it only support macOS 10.14+
and iOS/tvOS 12+
Modifications:
- made use of the Swift 5.0 manifests which can have restrictions on the
supported platforms
- adapted to NIO 2
Result:
- better development story
- using the latest & greatest
Motivation:
Today, SwiftPM unfortunately doesn't offer a great story for macOS/iOS
App development. Therefore we should recommend the
SwiftNIO/SwiftNIOTransportServices Pods.
Modifications:
recommend CocoaPods in the readme
Result:
Hopefully less frustration.
