Patch to Mk/bsd.default-versions.mk

GCC 8 is about in the middle of its lifecycle and GCC 9.1, as the first
release in the GCC 9 series just got released, but given how long it has
been taking us to get the tree ready for new versions of GCC and that
distros like openSUSE have already made the switch, let's see what it
takes for us to move forward.

>From all I can tell this should be an easier upgrade than most in the
past couple of years, but let's see how many broken ports we've got
and how responsive maintainers are this time.
