Check composer platform requirements

If you ever need to check what php version do composer packages and their dependencies require, there's a special command just for that.

composer check-platform-reqs

The output should look something like below. Maybe without the failed steps.

ext-dom        20031129                                                success

This is useful when your app fails due to unfulfilled dependency requirements.
