Version 3.6.2

Note that the upcoming ElasticPress 3.7.0 release will remove built assets from the develop branch, will replace master with trunk, will build a stable release version including built assets into a stable branch, and will include a build script should you want to build assets from a branch. As such, please plan to update any references you have from master to either stable or trunk depending on whether you require built assets or not.

This version bumps official PHP support from 5.3+ to 5.6+. Minimum PHP version for ElasticPress 3.7.0 will be 7.0+.
