Change PHP dependency to only versions that are not EOL (7.1+) #9

PHP 7.1 should be required since all other PHP versions are now end-of-life.

http://php.net/supported-versions.php PHP 7.1 is EOL 'security fixes only' until December 1 2019 then it should be changed to require PHP7.2.

This will reduce maintenance overhead and prevent problems with modern hosting.

This would not be done immediately but I think would be OK to do after about two releases (like two or three months out from the next, revamped release)
