Message:

Build/Test Tools: Fix installation tests for PHP <= 7.3.

In MySQL 8.0, the default authentication plugin changed from mysql_native_password to caching_sha2_password, which is not available in PHP 7.3 and earlier. The installation testing workflow currently accounts for this, but only for PHP 7.2 & 7.3.

It also does not account for a change in MySQL 8.4 which changed the related flag for controlling this from --default-authentication-plugin to --authentication-policy.

This adjusts the flags and surrounding conditions to ensure the correct ones are passed for the right combinations.

Props johnbillion.
