Enable CI build for gcc 4.8 on linux (#2106)

In #1928 we added support for GCC 4.8 but we don't continuously test if it's
working. This PR added a GitHub actions job to test compilation on GCC 4.8
for interpreters and Fast JIT (LLVM JIT/AOT might be added in the future).

The compilation is done using ubuntu 14.04 image as that's the simplest way
to get GCC 4.8 compiler. The job only compiles the code but does not run any
tests.
