Allow plugin to run on supported PHP versions only #117

Over the years the policy was to keep minimum required PHP version in sync with the oldest PHP version that has not reached EOL yet. That would mean raising minimum required PHP version to 7.4 in next minor release as PHP 7.3 has only few days of security support left.

A lot of projects, where BC Security is used, is however stuck on legacy webhost with PHP 7.3 and no simple option to upgrade. Therefore the policy has to be relaxed for foreseeable future and necessary changes to bootstraping process and PHP version check have to be made.

So there is actually nothing to do here, therefore I'm changing this ticket to a reminder that the policy has been suspended temporarily and should be reinstated as soon as practicable.
