 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="42832"
 General: Introduce dashboard widget to inform administrators about
 outdated PHP versions.

 This new dashboard widget is shown on WordPress sites which are powered by
 a PHP version which WordPress considers outdated, in order to inform site
 owners about the resulting problems and to explain how to upgrade to a
 supported version. An education page for that purpose has been previously
 created that the widget links to. The link is translatable so that
 localized versions of the page can be referred to as they become
 available.

 The nag follows the example of the Browse Happy dashboard widget and is
 only visible for administrators, or network administrators when using
 multisite. To determine whether it needs to be displayed, a new
 wordpress.org API introduced prior is called that handles the version
 logic in a centralized location.

 Props flixos90, hedgefield, schlessera.
 Fixes #41191.
