Support for Solidity 0.8.x

[andrekorol]

🧐 Motivation
Solidity 0.8.0 has been released, and I think it would be a good idea to have openzeppelin-contracts supporting it.

📝 Details
Updating the current contracts to support being compiled with solc-0.8 should be pretty straightforward since most breaking changes can be easily addressed.

Thanks for the quick reply! I already had made the changes on the PR above (#2442), and only now saw your comment, my bad 😅.

But I'll wait before making any further changes 😃.
