When I went to update the docs, I found they already said 5.8.3
is the minimum. Excavating in the git log led me to this old
discussion:
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/16894.1501392088%40sss.pgh.pa.us#2c7
AFAICS we have consensus on doing these things (in HEAD only):
* update ppport.h to perl 5.34.0
* adjust configure and docs to set 5.8.3 as the minimum perl version
* adjust docs to say we don't test or support AIX below 7.1.
I'll go make these things happen.
