 Drop the requirement for the entry points to WordPress to be parsable by
 PHP4.

 Previously we ensured that the entry points to WordPress were parsable by
 PHP4 in order to display a friendly not-supported-php error message.
 However, for the last two years the main entry points have not actually
 parsed, and we've only added extra parse errors since it last worked in
 3.9, so it's time we just remove this 'feature'.
 The PHP version checks are still there for PHP 5.0/5.1, and so it's
 inplace when we eventually drop PHP 5.2 support.

 See #29489.
