Set the baseline for the compiler and binutils to >=12.2 for GCC and
>=2.39 for GNU binutils, as Xen's GitLab CI will use the Debian 12
container for RISCV-64 testing. Therefore, these versions are expected
to be the minimum supported versions.

It's not the container that dictates the minimum version, but the issues
with older versions. Those want naming here instead.

I will add this information too. (I thought it would be enough to have that
in the patch where debian11 container is dropped)

Thanks.
