 If you're running PHP 5.2, and BP 2.8 won't support 5.2, we should take
 steps to prevent the user from upgrading, since upgrading will either
 cause fatal errors, or cause BP to bail out completely (see #7195).

 The main thing here is probably to hook into the list of plugins at
 plugins.php and make sure that (1) the Update plugin is hidden, and (2) BP
 can't be selected as part of bulk updates. This will need some
 reexamination after WP 4.6, which is changing some of the update UI
 ("shiny updates"). It'll still be possible to update via wp-cli, direct
 file upload, etc, but we're mainly trying to protect naive users using the
 native WP interface.
