Describe the solution you'd like

The OpenIddict client, server and validation stacks can be currently used in any .NET Framework 4.6.2+ application (including ASP.NET 4.6.2+ WinForms/MVC/Web API applications).

Microsoft has already announced that 4.6.2 will no longer be supported after January 2027, meaning 4.7 will become the oldest .NET Framework version supported by Microsoft.

Since it will no longer be supported, the net462 target framework moniker will be removed in the next major version, making net472 the oldest version supported by OpenIddict starting with 8.0.

Additional context

This plan matches the strategy adopted by other projects, like xUnit 3.
