Tagged as snacked-sized as the code change may be small but the initial
testing will probably be an effort

As it will involve checking what versions of PHP work fine with current
Mahara and which don't

Title:
  composer.json settings allow dev versions for php

Status in Mahara:
  New

Bug description:
  Looking at composer.json to see if we should update dependencies to make tests run better, I see that our syntax for php >=5.3.3 allows any version above that specified with default stability as dev. It explains how I ended up with php 7.2 after running make initcomposer...
  I think our default stability should be stable and that we should think about specifying a maximum version.

  Should we also change our settings to allow some other upgrades if
  there is a new stable non-breaking release, or just leave things
  pinned? If we change to "^version", it allows upgrades up to but not
  including the next major version, which seems reasonable??
