With PHP 8.4 due out in November later this year, contributors have been working on ensuring WordPress 6.7 is as compatible as possible. Enough progress has been made during this release cycle where PHPUnit tests now run successfully with no failures reported.
This change enables PHP 8.4 testing throughout Core’s GitHub Action workflows to ensure no new problems are introduced going forward.
There are two exceptions to this:
- The Importer plugin has some compatibility issues that produce test failures. There is an open pull request upstream, but these problematic tests have been marked skipped when running on PHP 8.4 until that PR is merged.
- Since no stable versions of xDebug with PHP 8.4 support have been published, these tests are also skipped for now.

This adds 6.4 and 6.5 to the PHP version support JSON files used to build the test matrix in the Installation Testing workflow.
Also, WP 6.3 did not support PHP 8.3.

In [56661], a new GitHub Actions workflow was introduced that focused on running some minimal installation tests for a version of WordPress for every PHP and MySQL combination.
This workflow has tested well, but lacks flexibility and possesses one flaw: tests are only ever performed with currently supported versions, even if the version being tested had a different support policy.
This updates the workflow to be more flexible, allowing all versions of WordPress currently receiving security fixes (back through 4.1) to be tested under the correct support policy.
Additionally, the workflow can now run against the `nightly` build of WordPress. This replaces `latest` as the new default. This allows the tests to be run at any point during a release cycle without the need for an officially tagged version.
