Update default PHP version used in local Docker Environment for older branches

[desrosj]

On October 26, 2023, the version of PHP Docker containers marked latest changed from PHP 7.4 to 8.2. This worked find for trunk and the 6.4 branch, however older branches that do not support PHP 8.2 are now running E2E tests on a version that was unsupported at the time.

This is affecting the 5.8-6.2 branches, but will also affect the 6.3 branch once latest is changed to utilize 8.3. The higher limit version of PHP should be hard coded into the .env file for these branches.

In 57198:

Build/Test Tools: Change the default value of LOCAL_PHP.

This changes the default value for LOCAL_PHP in the 6.4 branch from latest to 8.3-fpm to reflect the highest version of PHP this branch will support (with beta support).

After this change, future updates to the latest container built and published by the wpdev-docker-images repository will not cause failures in this branch.

While there are currently no failures in the 6.4 branch, the latest container was recently changed from using PHP 7.4 to 8.2 and caused failures in the 5.8-6.3 branches. Pinning a PHP version to this branch now will prevent that same scenario in the future. Going forward, this should be done at the time of branching.

Older branches already have specific PHP versions defined.

See #60095.

This also pins the version of PHP used in the E2E test workflow to PHP 8.0 to avoid deprecated notices related to #54914, which was not fixed until version 6.1.

Going to close this out because the goal of the ticket has been accomplished.

The E2E tests are still failing for the 6.2 branch, though it is likely due to a different reason.

I've gone and updated the Core Handbook to include a checklist item to change the LOCAL_PHP value from latest after branching: ​https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/about/release-cycle/releasing-major-versions/#branching-before-release.

In 58253:

Build/Test Tools: Pin PHP 8.3 to LOCAL_PHP in the 6.5 branch.

This ensures the local development environment and testing workflows do not break in the future when the PHP Docker container labeled latest changes.

Fixes #61329.
See #60095.

In 58346:

Build/Test Tools: Always generate build ZIP on push for 6.5.

This updates the 6.5 branch to make use of [58345], which fixes a bug where a ZIP file with built WordPress is not saved as an artifact causing the performance workflow to fail.

Merges [53845] to the 6.5 branch.
