Part of #82937.

What?

Adds phpunit/phpunit ^7.5 (7.5.20) as a dev dependency, and makes the PHP 7.4 and PHP 8.0 legs of unit-php run it instead of their Docker image's PHPUnit. The PHP 5.6 and PHP 7.0 legs keep the image's PHPUnit.

  • composer.json: adds the dependency, sets config.platform.php to 7.4 and require.php to >=5.6.20, and ignores PKSA-z3gr-8qht-p93v plus four symfony/yaml advisories (PKSA-v5yj-8nmz-sk2q, PKSA-ft77-7h5f-p3r6, PKSA-b14r-zh1d-vdrc, PKSA-xz3r-9gp4-4m1z).
  • composer.lock: composer update phpunit/phpunit --with-all-dependencies replaces the PHPUnit 8.5 that yoast/phpunit-polyfills pulled in (Repair wp/5.6 branch Actions: Pin wp-phpunit/wp-phpunit to the WordPress 5.6 test bootstrap #84974) with 7.5.20. The PHPUnit tree now matches wp/5.7's and wp/5.8's.
  • unit-test.yml: a job-level PHPUNIT variable picks the image's phpunit on PHP 5.6/7.0 and vendor/bin/phpunit otherwise, and both test steps run it through wp-env run phpunit with the npm scripts' arguments. A new "Install Composer dependencies" step replaces the composer install those scripts' pretest-* hooks ran.

Why?

Both PHP 8.0 legs stop before any test runs:

Error: Looks like you're using PHPUnit 9.6.21. WordPress requires at least PHPUnit 5.4 and is currently only compatible with PHPUnit up to 7.x.

WordPress 5.6's test library (#84974) refuses PHPUnit 8+, the 8.0-fpm image ships 9.6, and there's no PHPUnit 7 image for PHP 8.0. wordpress-develop's own 5.6 branch requires phpunit/phpunit ^7.5 and runs it on PHP 8. The PHP 7.4 image already ships 7.5.20; that leg uses the Composer copy too, so every PHP 7.2+ leg runs the same PHPUnit.

How?

The wp/5.6 version of #84455 (wp/5.8) and #84791 (wp/5.7), with these differences:

Only dev dependencies change; the plugin's Requires PHP: 5.6 stays.
