This commit updates the example `phpcs.xml.dist.sample` file to reflect that WP 6.6 is now the minimum supported version (three versions behind the latest release). It also updates the `testVersion` property from `7.0-` to `7.2-` since WP 6.6 dropped support for PHP 7.0 and 7.1 (https://make.wordpress.org/core/2024/04/08/dropping-support-for-php-7-1/).
This commit adds an item to verify if the `minimum_wp_version` and `testVersion` properties in `phpcs.xml.dist.sample` need updating as part of the release process.

Description
This PR updates the
phpcs.xml.dist.samplefile to reflect that WP 6.6 is now the minimum supported version (three versions behind the latest release). It also updates thetestVersionproperty from7.0-to7.2-since WP 6.6 dropped support for PHP 7.0 and 7.1. This file was last updated on #2608.WP 6.9 is scheduled to be released on December 2nd. I'm not sure if we want to wait until its release to merge this PR if approved.
Also, I'm suggesting adding an item to the release checklist to verify if these properties need updating as part of the release process, as discussed in #2656 (comment).
