[PATCH] meson: Drop gcc 8 support

[Kieran Bingham]

Quoting Laurent Pinchart (2024-08-03 22:08:46)
> The libcamera CI has retired gcc 8 testing with the end of life of
> Debian Buster at the end of June 2024. As gcc 8 isn't tested anymore, we
> can't guarantee it will keep building libcamera correctly. Drop its
> support. If anyone still has a compeling use case for gcc 8 support for
> libcamera, we will investigate how to restore it in CI.
