Patches 2659 and 2660 were cherry-picking the Mahara 1.8 system
requirements into the README for Mahara 1.6 and 1.7, which is
inappropriate, so I've reverted them.

I assume that the system requirements for a Mahara major version will
not change with each minor version, which means that if we were to
provide system requirements for 1.6 & 1.7, we'd need to look through the
history of the system requirements wiki page to find out what the stated
reqs were at the time we released 1.6.0 and 1.7.0.

On the other hand, we're not actually keeping around machines with older
versions of MySQL, Postgres, and all the web browsers, to test new minor
releases in. So, de facto, those new minor versions are in fact being
tested against a constantly updating set of software.

We should probably discuss it at the next dev meeting.

Title:
  Put the system requirements for each Mahara release into README

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Fix Released
Status in Mahara 1.6 series:
  In Progress
Status in Mahara 1.7 series:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  People sometimes ask on the forums what the system requirements are
  for past versions of Mahara. And currently, there's no easy way to
  answer that question, because we keep them on this page (
  https://wiki.mahara.org/index.php/System_Administrator%27s_Guide/Requirements
  ) and we just update that page periodically.

  It would make more sense to also put the system requirements into the
  README file, and update that at each major release. The system
  requirements shouldn't change in a minor release.
