--self-update updates to phpunit 5.0, even on PHP < 5.6

I just ran phpunit.phar --self-update on my PHP 5.5 system. When that was done, I ran phpunit --version, to which it replied

This version of PHPUnit requires PHP 5.6; using the latest version of PHP is highly recommended.

Presumably it self-updated to phpunit 5.x. Shouldn't --self-update check the PHP version and update to the most recent supported version?

To be honest, to me that is expected behavior. While PHPUnit 4 will get bug fixes for a year it is not the current version. So: don't use --self-update if you are on an outdated version of PHP.

I should not have disregared this issue and closed it. Sorry for that.

Thanks for the fix!
