Motivation
----------
1) It's required for Walter's work on using -betterC for the
backend conversion:
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/6907
2) We start to run into random failures lately, e.g.
https://github.com/braddr/d-tester/issues/63
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/7569#issuecomment-356992048
3) There's also WIP to move dmd-cxx to 2.076.1:
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/7595
So if we have to bump the minimal dmd version required to build
DMD anyways for (1), let's be clear about it and state it.
Anyone objecting?
Yes! we cannot keep bumping the version of the compiler,
personally I find 2.072 rather steep!
really we should be able to build with 2.068.
