Details:
- There's notable theming changes in gtk+ between 3.6 and 3.8. It might be a
burden to try to maintain compatibility with pre-3.8 theming as we work on
improving it (it's possible that we already depend on 3.8 in a way, themes not
working as well in older versions)
- Default client in 2.5 is gtk2, so the issue of people using gtk3-client
there and wanting to upgrade to freeciv-2.6 is not so critical. Anyway, even
gtk+-3.8 is an relatively old version by the time freeciv-2.6 comes out
(latest gtk+ is already 3.12)
Thus attached patch bumps minimum gtk3 requirement from 3.6 to 3.8. While it
doesn't magically break the code from working with 3.6, it makes us free not
to care about 3.6 compatibility. We should later check any constructs
deprecated in 3.8 in our codebase (we can't fix later deprecations as there
wouldn't be alternative way to do things in 3.8)
