Print nice error message to the screen (without 5.3.3)

[whikloj]

This is #362 (the cleaning house remix).

Reminder: PHP 5.3 became End Of Life 4 years, 8 months ago.
https://www.php.net/eol.php

Interested parties

@DiegoPino, @jonathangreen @Islandora/7-x-1-x-committers and anyone with a valid reason to not allow 5.3.3 to fail.

My opinion is if we are going to allow failures for PHP 5.3.3, its probably better to just remove it from the build matrix all together. Its failing and we aren't planning to fix it, so spending the travis time building it just to make a broken build doesn't seem worth it to me.

I will have to agree. Committers call agreement or do we aim for an executive order? El El mié, 24 de abr. de 2019 a las 09:40, Jonathan Green < notifications@github.com> escribió:

I feel like we've talked about 5.3.3 on at least a few calls. Was anyone speaking vehemently in its defense?

@bondjimbond @DiegoPino If committers agree, there's no need for an executive order. And it's been long enough now that maybe 5.3.3 is no longer attractive to those that were clinging on. Or at least maybe they'd be willing to compromise with the allowed fail. So it's still worth a shot IMO.

However, in the event that maybe we need a nudge from higher up the chain, the TAG is meeting soon and this issue has been put on the agenda: https://github.com/Islandora/islandora/wiki/TAG-Meeting---April-26-2019

My proposal with this, is that we always "talk" about removing extremely out-of-date software but we never do it.

This allows us a two-step approach.

1. Move it to an allowed failure, those for whom 5.3.3 is important can look at fixing it. But the testing is still run.
2. Review in 6 months with an eye to full removal if it is not fixed.

perfect. Merging in 24
