[poppler] Moving up our "minimum" Linux base

[Thomas Freitag]

Hi William!

But gcc 4.8.5 could cause problems since poppler uses std::regex, see 
i.e. here 
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12530406/is-gcc-4-8-or-earlier-buggy-about-regular-expressions.
Since I encounterd problems with poppler similar to 
https://github.com/isc-projects/ethq/issues/5 I switched to devtoolset-3 
on CentOS which use 4.9.2 and  seems to solve that problem with regex.

Cheers,
Thomas
