Description
Josepha has confirmed that we'll go ahead and bump the minimum supported version of PHP to 7.0.0 for WordPress 6.3.
The MINIMUM_PHP
constant for ServeHappy needs to be bumped accordingly. Is there anything else that needs to be changed so that the updates API functions as expected?

In r20612-dotorg: API: Core Version Check: Specify WP 6.3+ as PHP7 minimum. See https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7126
The version-check response now shows the correct PHP minimum version after the above.
In r20613-dotorg: API: Core Version Check: Offer WordPress 6.2.xx to the remaining PHP 5.6.20-5.6.9999 users upon WordPress 6.3's release. WordPress 5.1 is offered to version of PHP older than 5.6.20. See https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/7126
That doesn't currently change the API response, but upon the first 6.3.x release that triggers a 6.2.x release being made, the remaining WP 6.2 sites will see both 6.3.x & 6.2.x, with only the latter being an update destination.
(NOTE: This behaviour is only present for STABLE releases, if you're running a development version, a beta version, etc, you do NOT get an older-version offering, this is specifically for end-users)
