I'd keep the replacement of cc-ifversion with gcc-min-version as a
distinct child patch, since I don't care about backports for that (and
there's probably more cc-ifversion users the further back you go) but
I think we might want cc-min-version in stable.

Technically, the above should also update
Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.rst; but I'm just testing this works;
it seems to.

Oh, it looks like cc-ifversion both permits checking max-version and
min version. But we can implement -ge and -lt with just one or the
other:

```
