No there is no tool for that, and I don't get the point why this should be
the easy way of solving your problem...

Exchanging the 3-8 database with the old one (which contains your site)
requires you to run some database upgrades in the Install Tool (see
Installation manual).

However TYPO3 stores files separately from the database in some folders of
your filesystem. Therefore you will have to exchange these folders as well:
- fileadmin
- typo3conf
- typo3temp
- uploads

After all I think it would be a lot easier to do it the ordinary way:
- Install new TYPO3 source (t3lib, tslib, typo3)
- Run the database upgrade in the Install Tool

Yes they are already there. This is exactly what is written in the document.
It's just written to explain how it works.
