Description

Previously: #58158, #55791

MySQL 5.7 is reaching EOL in 10 days so we need to update the recommended version in both readme.html and the ​Requirements page on the website.

We should change it to 8.0, matching the ​https://make.wordpress.org/hosting/handbook/server-environment/#database page

Note that PHPUnit tests are currently failing because of that with:

readme.html's Recommended MySQL version is too old. Remember to update the WordPress.org Requirements page, too.
Failed asserting that '2023-10-21' is less than '2023-10-21'.

See https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/59701#comment:5 where the recommended version in the WordPress readme was updated from 5.7 to 8.0, because version 5.7 reached EOL.

I don't know if this is the right place to make this change for the ​https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/ page though 🤷

Props @SergeyBiryukov
