Message:

Build/Test Tools: Remove PHP requirement for the build script.

In [61873], the build script started failing in some environemnts due to logic that added a requirement for php-cli.

While WordPress itself cannot be run without PHP, the build script has never required PHP to be present to prepare wordpress-develop for use. This adjusts the relevant code to make use of the php-array-reader package instead.
