Update WordPress website to php 7.3 without recreating it #155

Hi there, first thing first, let me say I love EasyEngine, thank you guys for such a great tool.

For now, my website runs on EE v4, but at the time of its creation EE v4 had only php 7.2 available. We really need an EasyEngine default method for upgrading WordPress sites to a newer php version.

Actually, when I migrated from ee v3 to v4, I wasn't lucky at all using the migration script, so I went all the way on spinning up a whole new server and a fresh new EE v4 install.

I'm quite happy with EE v4. However, the learning curve has been tough, I mean there's this new optimized containerized environment and a bunch of new commands, and I feel grateful for such enhancements, but I also feel it was a quite lot easier to manage things back on ee v3.

One of the things I really miss is the EasyEngine's easy methods for updating any WordPress site types, but on EE v4 I'm completely stuck with the same WordPress website docker image as when it was created.

It would be great if EE v4 had a method to upgrade any WP website to newer php versions such as ee site update example.com --type=wp -php=7.3

I'd really appreciate any help regarding this issue.
