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.
