Description
When we release factory_bot 7, we should stop testing against any end-of-life Ruby versions (probably 2.5 and 2.6 by the time we release - https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/branches/).
Similarly for Rails, we stop testing against 5.0, 5.1, and possibly 5.2 - https://guides.rubyonrails.org/maintenance_policy.html

Research direction
Start by locating the release and test configuration that defines supported Ruby and Rails versions. Check the Ruby and Rails maintenance-policy links in the issue, then identify the EOL versions to remove when preparing factory_bot 7. Done means the test matrix no longer includes the selected unsupported versions and the remaining supported versions still pass.
