Title:
  composer.json settings allow dev versions for php: Specify max version

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??
