Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 In [changeset:"44978" 44978]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="44978"
 Plugins: Block plugin activation if it requires a higher version of PHP or
 WordPress.

 Introduce `validate_plugin_requirements()` for validating a plugin's
 WordPress and PHP version requirements.

 Introduce `wp_is_wp_compatible()` and `wp_is_php_compatible()` for
 checking compatibility with the current WordPress or PHP version.

 Props afragen, joyously, DrewAPicture, TimothyBlynJacobs, desrosj,
 flixos90, SergeyBiryukov.
 See #43992.
