 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="62022"
 Build/Test Tools: Fix installation tests for PHP <= 7.3.

 In MySQL 8.0, the default authentication plugin changed from
 `mysql_native_password` to `caching_sha2_password`, which is not available
 in PHP 7.3 and earlier. The installation testing workflow currently
 accounts for this, but only for PHP 7.2 & 7.3.

 It also does not account for a change in MySQL 8.4 which changed the
 related flag for controlling this from `--default-authentication-plugin`
 to `--authentication-policy`.

 This adjusts the flags and surrounding conditions to ensure the correct
 ones are passed for the right combinations.

 Props johnbillion.
