package/gcc: switch to gcc 8.x as the default

Even if gcc 7 is still maintained for some time (gcc 7.5 is pending),
switch to gcc 8.x since it has been released since 2018-05-02 and
gcc 9.x is available since 2019-05-03.

We have been having toolchains in the autobuilders with gcc
8.x for a while, so the vast majority of the problems should have
already been solved.
