[PATCH] Raise the minimum GCC version to 5.2

[Masahiro Yamada]

The current minimum GCC version is 4.9 except ARCH=arm64 requiring
GCC 5.1.

When we discussed last time, we agreed to raise the minimum GCC version
to 5.1 globally. [1]

I'd like to propose GCC 5.2 to clean up arch/powerpc/Kconfig as well.

This commit updates the minimum versions in scripts/min-tool-version.sh
and Documentation/process/changes.rst with trivial code cleanups.

More cleanups will be possible as follow-up patches, but this one must
be agreed and applied to the mainline first.

I'd like Linus to pick up this patch
if there is no objection.
