cmake: update minimum CMake version to v3.5.1
Back in commit cf9f3452 (cmake: bump minimum version to 2.8.11, 2017-09-06), we have bumped the minimum CMake version to require at least v2.8.11. The main hold-backs back then were distributions like RHEL/CentOS as well as Ubuntu Trusty, which caused us to not target a more modern version. Nowadays, Ubuntu Trusty has been EOL'd and CentOS 6 has CMake v3.6.1 available via the EPEL6 repository, and thus it seems fair to upgrade to a more recent version. Going through repology [1], one can see that all supported mainstream distributions do in fact have CMake 3 available. Going through the list, the minimum version that is supported by all mainstream distros is in fact v3.5.1: - CentOS 6 via EPEL6: 3.6.1 - Debian Oldstable: 3.7.2 - Fedora 26: 3.8.2 - OpenMandriva 3.x: 3.5.1 - Slackware 14.2: 3.5.2 - Ubuntu 16.04: 3.5.1 Consequentally, let's upgrade CMake to the minimum version of 3.5.1 and remove all the version CMake checks that aren't required anymore.
