This raises the minimum version of MySQL required to run WordPress from 5.0 to 5.5.5.
MySQL 5.0 and 5.1 have long been unsupported and both reached end of life over 10 years ago. Combined usage for both versions sits at 0.4% of all WordPress sites.
Because 5.5 sits at just under 15% usage, 5.5 cannot be trimmed off at this time.
Of all sites running 5.5.x, 85% are running 5.5.5, and 100% are running 5.5.5 or higher. This makes it the logical landing spot.

This also removes the random compat library which is no longer necessary, and adjusts unit tests and CI workflows that no longer need to take PHP 5.6 into account.
Thank you for your service, PHP 5. Onwards!

This changeset replaces contracted verb forms like `doesn't`, `can't`, or `isn't` with non-contracted forms like `does not`, `cannot`, or `is not`, for better consistency across the WordPress administration. It also updates some corresponding unit tests strings.

Title attributes on abbreviations are only available to a minority of users. The
best option is to avoid unnecessary abbreviations when possible. In the other cases,
use an `<abbr>` element (which provides a hint to user agents on how to announce
and display the abbreviation) and provide an expansion in plain text on first use.
- `readme.html`: improves abbreviations and removes unnecessary `title` attributes
- options-general: removes unnecessary abbreviations and improves the remaining ones
- customizer schedule changeset date: removes unnecessary abbreviations and improves the remaining ones
- posts table date: uses a `span` element instead of an `abbr` element because this is not an abbreviation

Previous [44982] and [44950].
This bumps the minimum version down slightly based on some research into the usage of php 5.6. This also brings the recommended version in line with https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/ .
The travis matrix is also being reduced in order to speed up builds. This is a hard break. PHP 5.2 - 5.5 we are never ever, ever, getting back together. You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me, But we are never ever, ever, ever getting back together.
Props DD32, afergen for research.

As of this commit, WordPress is no longer a simple blogging platform. It's now a comprehensive publishing solution.
This also replaces a couple of other "blog" references that were missed previously.

The readme, installation, upgrade, and repair pages use a common css file. The heading structure for these pages was inconstant with h2s where there should be h1s, h1s where there is no relevant info and sometimes, no h1s at all.
