[Opm] Minimum version of dependencies after new release

[Claus Aranha]

Hello everyone,

Thank you for all the hard work! Congratulations on the new release.

As a lurker/user, as long as there are some docker build files available 
that lists the minimum library/version requirements, I'm happy.

The pros: We may not need Boost anymore, we can include the CPR implementation in flow,  we can have working MPI on Ubuntu. For Red Hat there will be no change since building on Red Hat 7 without the devtoolset broke a long time ago anyway, and Red Hat 8 has GCC 8.2 as default. Downsides include breaking build on Ubuntu LTS and Debian oldstable. I really do not know to what extent this will be problematic. At Equinor we are already deep into the devtoolsets, so this will not bite us.
