Last time we updated the requirements was in bug 1278456, after we
switched to GTK+3.

While it might be worth checking what would be a reasonable requirement,
the immediate problem is that updating ANGLE hits a snag with a
libstdc++ 4.7 symbol, and the only main distro release that bumping to
that version would make us not support anymore is Ubuntu 12.04 LTS,
EOLed 2 years ago (April 2017).

Bumping to some even newer version would need more consideration.
Desupporting Ubuntu 12.04 LTS at this point is almost a no-brainer.
