desrosj 362b15d400 Database: Raise the minimum required version of MySQL.
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.

John Blackbourn 0c324b983f General: Increase the minimum supported version of PHP to 7.0.0.
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!

Andrea Fercia fbc9dba70b Accessibility: Audit usage of abbreviations.
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

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.

Matt Thomas 5d5114daf9 Bring the install/update screens in line with the new admin design. This affects:
* Creating a wp-config.php file
* Installation
* Database upgrade
* Database repair
* Readme.html
* Network sites actions

What's changed:

* Bring background/text/link/border colours in line with mp6
* Bring fonts in line with mp6 (see note below)
* Switch to device-width for the viewport and tweak margins etc so the layout works nicely on all device sizes
* Switch to the new vector WordPress logo in the header to match the log in screen
* Force table cells into rows in the <782px media query

Fixes #25951, props johnbillion.
