Mediawiki Upgrade Notes

In file `RELEASE-NOTES-1.x` may be useful to search for:

692 == Upgrading notes for 1.35 ==
693 1.35 requires PHP 7.3.19 or above (up from 7.2.9). (T257879)

...this so at least in MW release 1.35. Speaks to which minimum version of PHP is needed.

In file `UPGRADE` which is part of mediawiki tarball, there is mention that for upgrades a wiki curator will want to preserve the following dirs and files from the older installation:

(1) "extensions" directory (2) "images" directory (3) LocalSettings.php file
