sanity: Require gcc 5.0 minimum version
After polling various develoeprs, its clear that many layers are struggling with gcc 4.8 and its better for the project to adopt 5.0 as a minimum version at this point in time. We should have technology like buildtools-extended-tarball available to ensure things still work on Centos 7 and Debian 8. Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
