Fangrui Song 1e06b82bde [docs] Bump minimum GCC version to 7.4
GCC 7.3 cannot build 16.x releases.

```

The 17.x and main branches have more failures, e.g.

```
llvm/lib/Transforms/Vectorize/LoopVectorize.cpp: `error: cannot decompose class type ‘std::pair<llvm::Value*, const llvm::SCEV*>’: ...`
```

We probably should just give up 7.1 and say that GCC<=7.3 is unsupported.
There is evidence that GCC 7.4 works.
I have verified that GCC 7.5 is able to build `check-{llvm,clang,clang-tools,lldb,lld,polly,mlir,bolt}`,
but not flang due to at least `flang/Common/enum-class.h` and a `<charconv`> in a unittest.
