package.mask: Extend sys-devel/gcc mask to <5.4

Extend the sys-devel/gcc mask to include all versions <5.4,
in particular gcc-4.9 that is still present in Gentoo. This version is
causing numeruous build failures for various packages, and there is
really no point in pursuing restrictions package-by-package.

Closes: https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/6627
