Patch for Mk/bsd.{gcc,default-versions}.mk

Right now USE_GCC=yes and lang/gcc (via Mk/bsd.default-versions.mk)
imply GCC 4.7 as default.

The GCC 4.7 branch has now been closed and retired, no more updates
or fixes are planned any more.  Hence we should update to GCC 4.8
despite having move to GCC 4.7 a couple of months ago due to the
challenges associated with that (ports being broken in many ways).

Based on the infrastructure work we have done for the 4.7 update
this one should be easier.  Famous last words. :-)
