We're about to remove BaseTools support for GCC44..GCC47. Reject those gcc
versions cleanly in "OvmfPkg/build.sh". In "OvmfPkg/README", upgrade any
mentions of the same gcc versions to GCC48.

No GCC44..GCC47 references remain under OvmfPkg after this patch.

Notes:
    I tested that, after this patch, "build.sh" successfully builds OvmfPkg
    with GCC48. I did no runtime tests, nor did I test the rejection path
    with any of gcc-4.4 through gcc-4.7.

 If you build with the UNIXGCC toolchain, then debugging will be disabled
