switch to ubuntu 16.04 #9

16.04 is the current LTS release. It makes a lot more sense to have a stable and supported LTS release. The support for 16.10 will run out in July 2017, so it doesn't make sense to base our images on it. Instead of switching to 17.04 and then again soon, we can stay on 16.04 for a while.

Does candi run on 16.04? If so, please merge yourself, and I'll rebuild all the images based on candi.

luca-heltai commented 7 years ago

Actually, I agree on your comments regardless of candi...

I forgot to ask: I guess this will mean we get an older version of gcc and clang, is that going to be a problem for what you are doing? (I am not sure if c++14 support works for example)
