[Bug 1866835] Re: update gcc-8 packages for bionic

[Łukasz Zemczak]

All packages have been built against -security only, so those should be
good to go to -updates/-security simultaneously. Also, gcc-8-cross for
bionic has been bumped from 18ubuntu0.4 to 18ubuntu0.6, but that is only
a double-bump for the version number, so it's all good.

Let's wait for autopkgtests to finish and see how it goes.

Bug description:
  This is a follow-up to LP: #1848319. I'd like to update the gcc-8
  packages in bionic to the final 8.4.0 release.

   - gcc-8, update to the gcc-8.4.0 release
   - corresponding gcc-cross packages

  The package builds are prepared in
  https://launchpad.net/~doko/+archive/ubuntu/toolchain/+packages

  [Impact]
  Provide an upstream release for GCC 8.4, the non-default GCC in 18.04 LTS.

  [Regression Potential]
  There is regression potential, however the compiler is not used by default. Affected packages are libgcc1 and libstdc++6.

  [Test Case]
  No regressions in the GCC test suite.  We don't do a test rebuild, as that would use GCC 7 only.
  Cross compiler packages should just build.

  [Validation]
  Analyze the build logs for regressions.
  For the cross builds, just make sure that the packages build using
  the updated sources.
