unlike the other jobs; using an older ubuntu base image that provides that compiler as an option.

note the obsoleted travis job used an image of the OS that is EOL and therefore not available, but the compiler used will be the same, and more importantly will fail in the same (C89 compatibility) issues.

based on top of my tip for cb/reftable-fixes, but applies cleanly all
the way to maint.
a succesful run can be seen in:
  https://github.com/carenas/git/runs/3336674183

it adds 2m to the current setup, but gcc 4.8 is hard to find in modern developer workstations (or even non EOL enterprise systems)
