Subject: [PATCH] [TASK] Deprecate support for PHP 7.2 and 7.3

WordPress 7.0 will drop support for PHP 7.2 and 7.3 [1], and
PHP 7.3 was EOLed in December 2021. [2]

So it's time to deprecate support for PHP < 7.4, allowing us
to make use of features like native types for properties, as
discussed. [3]
