This PR updates the minimum PHP version requirement to 7.0. I tested this locally and besides getting some PHP notices from non-plugin related code everything seemed to be working as expected.
I also tried downgrading WordPress core to 4.5, which is the version we required so far, but it failed. WP admin did not load and I got dozens of issues (I tried on PHP 7.1) Maybe it's something about my setup so I'd appreciate someone else double-checking that as well.
When I upgraded to 4.6, everything went back to normal. That's why, at least for now, I've bumped the minimal requirement to 4.6 for WordPress core.
I also did some quick smoke test of WordPress 6.6 and did not notice any issues. That's why I increased the "Tested up to" label to 6.6.
