Sergey Biryukov 5450faf3ec Tests: Correct the check for the recommended MySQL version in readme.html.
This updates the regular expression in the test to retrieve the date of the first, instead of the last, GA release for the recommended MySQL branch, in order to properly track the EOL date.

Additionally, as the currently recommended MySQL 5.7 branch moved from active support to extended support on 2020-10-21, and WordPress core is not fully compatible with MySQL 8.0 at this time, this commit increases the “supported” period from 5 to 8 years to include extended support.

Follow-up to [31291], [35759], [meta11407], [52420].

See #41490.

The short version:

1. Create a clean MySQL database and user.  DO NOT USE AN EXISTING DATABASE or you will lose data, guaranteed.

2. Copy wp-tests-config-sample.php to wp-tests-config.php, edit it and include your database name/user/password.

3. $ svn up

4. Run the tests from the "trunk" directory:
   To execute a particular test:
      $ phpunit tests/phpunit/tests/test_case.php
   To execute all tests:
      $ phpunit

Notes:

Test cases live in the 'tests' subdirectory.  All files in that directory will be included by default.  Extend the WP_UnitTestCase class to ensure your test is run.

phpunit will initialize and install a (more or less) complete running copy of WordPress each time it is run.  This makes it possible to run functional interface and module tests against a fully working database and codebase, as opposed to pure unit tests with mock objects and stubs.  Pure unit tests may be used also, of course.

Changes to the test database will be rolled back as tests are finished, to ensure a clean start next time the tests are run.

phpunit is intended to run at the command line, not via a web server.
