Drop support of too old PHP versions
#1

Hi

Its great that CI provide support back to PHP 5.2.xx but its time to move forward. PHP already started its moving to next major 7.0 and we shouldn't stay too far away from it.

It will be great if we start using (already Old) features NAMESPACES(this is from MAJOR importance), traits and others, at the same time we should be up to date and Not to support MYSQL lib for example (only PDO and MYSQLi).
Another moment is that such old PHP versions are NOT Security Safe so its against any logic to keep the framework on such old version support.

For that purpose I think that we should start discussing future major release. Where the CI should take one nice UPDATE.
Of course my idea is not to change all CI concepts, no it is to update them and to use all features of the actual PHP (atleast 5.4 or even 5.5).
