 MySQL 5.7 is reaching EOL in 10 days so we need to update the recommended
 version in both `readme.html` and the
 [https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/ Requirements] page on the
 website.

 We should change it to 8.0, matching the
 https://make.wordpress.org/hosting/handbook/server-environment/#database
 page

 Note that PHPUnit tests are currently failing because of that with:

 {{{
 readme.html's Recommended MySQL version is too old. Remember to update the
 WordPress.org Requirements page, too.
 Failed asserting that '2023-10-21' is less than '2023-10-21'.
 }}}
