"resource" is a soft reserved word in PHP 7

[joshuanoyes]

I suspect this is already on the radar and is not a high priority issue, but just in case it's been overlooked: resource is a soft reserved word since PHP 7, so it has the potential to cause problems with Illuminate\Http\Resources\Json\Resource if the word does become reserved in the future.

From http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.other-reserved-words.php

Whilst they may still be used as class, interface, and trait names (as well as in namespaces), usage of them is highly discouraged since they may be used in future versions of PHP.

@joshuanoyes - thanks for raising the issue! Good pickup.

I've done a PR for this here: laravel/framework#22969

It'll be up to Taylor if it gets merged or not.
