[Xastir-dev] Travis-CI: gcc 8?

[Jason Godfrey]

Maybe swap the Ubuntu 14.04 max build to use gcc 8 if that is a valid
combination? The travis-ci documentation has the comment "If you are on an
open-source plan, please remember that Travis CI provides this service free
of charge to the community. So please only specify the matrix you *actually
need*."
