Fixes #766
What?
Adjust the GitHub Actions PHP/WP test matrix to skip unsupported PHP versions when testing against WordPress trunk.
Why?
WordPress trunk no longer supports PHP 7.2 and 7.3. Running CI jobs for these combinations produces expected failures and unnecessary noise while still providing no additional coverage.
How?
Use GitHub Actions’ matrix.exclude feature to remove only the PHP 7.2/7.3 + WP trunk combinations, while keeping those PHP versions tested against released WordPress versions (e.g. latest, 6.8).
This follows the official GitHub Actions matrix exclusion mechanism:
https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-jobs/using-a-matrix-for-your-jobs#excluding-matrix-configurations
Testing Instructions
Open the GitHub Actions run for this PR.
Verify that:
Confirm that all remaining matrix jobs pass as expected.
