Comment:

 This patch overwrites the existing `PHPMailer.php` and `SMTP.php` files
 with a verbatim copy from upstream 6.1.7 tag.

 I noticed 3 PHPCS/PHPCompat rules that we added later to the 6.1.6 copy.
 PHPMailer directory (`src/wp-includes/PHPMailer`) is already in the main
 PHPCS configuration file, and this patch adds the directory to
 `phpcompat.xml.dist` file as well, so we no longer need to patch PHPMailer
 to pass PHPComat CI check.

 From now on, we will be able to simply copy new PHPMailer releases
 (`PHPMailer.php`, `Exception.php` and `SMTP.php`) into `src/wp-
 includes/PHPMailer` directory.
