Proposed patch updating from GCC 5 to GCC 6 as default

Now that GCC_DEFAULT no longer goes hand-in-hands with lang/gcc directly,
but uses the lang/gcc{49,5,6,...} ports, updating the default has become
a one-line change.

This is an important update since GCC 6 has addressed some issues hurting
FreeBSD users, GCC 5 likely will go end-of-life soon.  And the update to
GCC 5 has resulted in no real reports of issues at all!

Still, outfall due to broken ports is possible, if not likely, so an
exp-run seems in order.
