As per changeset [44982].

Do we need to change $required_php_version = '7.4'; on this file trunk/src/wp-includes/version.php

@mukesh27 Changing the version there would prevent anyone from running WordPress on PHP 5.6.20-7.3, which we don't want to do just yet. That variable is an enforced requirement. The intent here is to update the recommended PHP version.

PHP: Bump the recommended version of PHP to 7.4.

This brings the recommendations in readme.html inline with those on ​https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/.

Props hareesh-pillai.
