Hi!
PHP 5.6 had its end-of-life in December 2018.
PHP 7.4 had its end-of-life in November 2022.
I propose removing both of them from pkgsrc (lang/php56, lang/php74).
We have three other PHP versions in pkgsrc, 8.1, 8.2, and 8.3; and 8.4
is out and someone will probably package it soon, I guess.
The following packages only have one of the two in their
PHP_VERSIONS_ACCEPTED, so these would need updating to newer versions
supporting PHP 8, or would be removed as well.

Any particular reasons they should still stay in pkgsrc?
