   * Dynamically identifies the minimum supported PHP version based on the date.

   * Drupal automatically increases the minimum supported PHP version from
   * \Drupal::MINIMUM_PHP to a newer version after PHP's documented end-of-life
   * date for the previous version.
   *
   * Below this version:
   * - New sites can be installed (to allow update deployment workflows that
   *   reinstall sites from configuration), but a warning is displayed in the
   *   installer that the PHP version is too old (except within tests).
   * - Updates from previous Drupal versions can be run, but users are warned
   *   that Drupal no longer supports that PHP version.
   * - An error is shown in the status report that the PHP version is too old.
   *
   * @param \DateTime|null $date
   *   The DateTime to check. Defaults to the current datetime (now) if NULL.
   *
   * @return string
   *   The minimum supported PHP version on the date in a PHP-standardized
   *   number format supported by version_compare(). For example, '8.0.2' or
   *   '8.1'. This will be the lowest PHP version above the minimum PHP version
   *   supported by Drupal that is still supported, or the highest known PHP
   *   version if no known versions are still supported.
   *
   * @see version_compare()
