7.x HEAD does not have Phar protection (7.63 and lower do) and Phar tests are failing on Drupal 7

I guess this happened because bootstrap.inc contains the version constant that needs adjusting.

Atm if you do git diff 7.63...7.x includes/bootstrap.inc

diff --git a/includes/bootstrap.inc b/includes/bootstrap.inc
