This raises the minimum version of MySQL required to run WordPress from 5.0 to 5.5.5.
MySQL 5.0 and 5.1 have long been unsupported and both reached end of life over 10 years ago. Combined usage for both versions sits at 0.4% of all WordPress sites.
Because 5.5 sits at just under 15% usage, 5.5 cannot be trimmed off at this time.
Of all sites running 5.5.x, 85% are running 5.5.5, and 100% are running 5.5.5 or higher. This makes it the logical landing spot.

Alongside [57153], this reduces unnecessarily autoloaded data from inactive themes, which can contribute to slow database performance as part of excessive autoloading. This changeset specifically resolves the issue for existing sites.

Fixes the version number from [56966] to include its number in the version, as it is the commit that opened trunk for 6.5-alpha.

Capitalize RC in the version, i.e. just in case the build requires it.

WordPress creates attachment pages by default for every attachment uploaded. On the vast majority of sites, these attachment pages don't contain any meaningful information. They do however exist, get indexed by search engines, and sometimes even rank in search results, leading to bad results for users and site owners.
This commit introduces a `wp_attachment_pages_enabled` database option to control the attachment pages behavior:
* On existing sites, the option is set to `1` on upgrade, so that attachment pages continue to work as is.
* For new sites, the option is set to to `0` by default, which means attachment pages are redirected to the attachment URL.
* Sites that want to enable or disable the attachment pages can set the option to `1` or `0`, respectively.

This also removes the random compat library which is no longer necessary, and adjusts unit tests and CI workflows that no longer need to take PHP 5.6 into account.
Thank you for your service, PHP 5. Onwards!

Ensure that the option `can_compress_scripts` is autoloaded on single sites, as this option is used in all requests. This change saves one database query per page request.
