x86/build: Raise the minimum GCC version to 8.1
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.
