[PATCH v2 7/7] compiler-gcc: improve version error

[Nick Desaulniers]

As Kees suggests, do so provides developers with two useful pieces of
information:
- The kernel build was attempting to use GCC.
  (Maybe they accidentally poked the wrong configs in a CI.)
- They need 4.9 or better.
  ("Upgrade to what version?" doesn't need to be dug out of documentation,
   headers, etc.)
