Follow-up from #43987 and #44350. Description from
https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/43987?cnum_edit=46#comment:41
With WordPress 5.2 requiring at least PHP 5.6, many plugin authors will
start updating their plugins to also require PHP 5.6. This is fine for
users running WordPress 5.2, but for users on older versions of WordPress
they'll start receiving update notifications for plugins that they may no
longer be able to run if they're using a version of PHP older than 5.6. If
the user updates such a the plugin then they'll likely start seeing fatal
errors.
Backporting the changes that prevent updates from being served to sites
that don't meet the plugin's minimum PHP version will help avoid users on
older branches finding themselves updating a plugin to a version that no
longer works.
