[poppler] Moving up our "minimum" Linux base

[William Bader]

Thanks! I didn't know about gcc 4.8 std::regex issue or about the devtoolset packaging. I built gcc 8.2 from source on my CentOS 4, 5, 6, and 7 build systems last July, but I have only been using it for the C compiler.
William

exactly on centos you can get up to gcc 8.2 http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/sclo/x86_64/rh/devtoolset-8/
