 Now that WordPress requires at least PHP 5.6 we're also able to use
 namespaces.
 PHPUnit uses namespaces which forced us to provide custom class aliases to
 make our tests compatible with PHPUnit 6 (and PHP 5.2), see #39822.

 For running the tests on PHP 5.6 we're using PHPUnit 5 which should be our
 minimum supported version. Since `PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase` is already
 [https://phpunit.de/manual/5.7/en/writing-tests-for-phpunit.html available
 in PHPUnit 5] it should be safe to replace it. The [https://travis-
 ci.com/github/WordPress/wordpress-develop/jobs/339361911 tests are still
 passing].

 The change would solve autocompleting issues with editors which are not
 resolving the custom class aliases when you use PHPUnit 7 for example.
