Subject: [PATCH] Example ruleset: update some recommended settings

* Generally we recommend for the `minimum_wp_version` to be ~3 versions behind the latest WP release (currently 6.8.2).
* To align with this, I'm setting the `testVersion` for PHPCompatibility to PHP 7.0 or higher (which was the minimum PHP version in WP 6.5).
