doc: update minimum g++ version to 4.9.4 
The 4.8.x releases don't fully support C++11.  Update the prerequisites
for node.js 8 so that we won't have to work around compiler bugs in the
future.

To be decided if we should also update the minimum clang version.
I believe clang 3.4.2 properly supports C++11 but am not 100% sure.
