Update doc to restrict gdb version #383

gdb version below 8.0 doesn't seem to support new-ui and always show as time-out which is very confusing to new starters. Can you please update the doc or I'd be happy to submit a PR if you could grant me the permission.

Thanks for the report. Sure a PR would be great.

Where is the referenced doc? Could gdbgui create a nice error message with a hint if this happens instead of a timeout?

Note: "new-ui" was added with GDB 7.12; the main question is - should even this old version be supported (that was October 2016, it takes a bit of time but also 2012 machines seem to be able to compile GDB 11 with python support)?
