 Background: #2952 added support for `Requires PHP` plugin header.

 At the time, it made sense to have it defined in the same place as
 `Requires at least`, which only exists in `readme.txt`.

 Per discussion with @Otto42 in #WP46938, a decision was made for WP core
 to read both `Requires at least` and `Requires PHP` headers from the
 plugin' main PHP file as well, and give precedence to those instead of the
 ones from the `readme.txt` file.

 For consistency, Plugin Directory should do the same.
