x86/build: Raise the minimum GCC version to 8.1

Browse source 
Stack protector support on 64-bit currently requires that the percpu
section is linked at absolute address 0, because older compilers fixed
the location of the canary value relative to the GS segment base.

GCC 8.1 introduced options to change where the canary value is located,
allowing it to be configured as a standard per-CPU variable.  This has
already been done for 32-bit.  Doing the same for 64-bit will enable
removing the code needed to support zero-based percpu.
