[pkg-php-pear] Bug#905254: libphp-phpmailer: Please update to version 6.x

[Craig Small]

WordPress probably uses its own version which, I assume, they will maintain
afterwards.

I'll see if I can find more about what they're doing with it for the longer
term.

The easiest way for me is to just drop the depends.
