PHP 7.4 is not supported for MediaWiki 1.42.0.

Should 7.4 be added to 1.42 and master in the grid/table in Compatibility#PHP? We're still testing CI on 7.4 and we're still running production on 7.4 in both 1.42 and master, correct?

PHP-7.4 is EOL software. As far as outside users are concerned, it seems reasonable that they should be dissuaded from using it. Note that 8.0 isn't in the support table either.

You can no longer install 1.42 without "hacking" the software since the installer will error out due to a compatibility warning. Let's get new users to start with PHP 8.1 or later. Mentioning PHP 7.4 here will confuse them.
