We deprecated GTK2 and SDL1.2 in the 2.12.0 release, so they are able

be bumped up based the distros we aim to support.
Note that before this can merge, the openbsd VM test image needs to be
updated to have SDL2, as openbsd build mandates SDL availability.
The freebsd & netbsd images should also be updated, but they are not
build blockers as they automatically disable SDL
Changed in v2:
- Rebased to resolve conflicts

ui: remove support for GTK2 in favour of GTK3
ui: increase min required GTK3 version to 3.14.0

Nit: you might want to tweak some parts of the commit messages,
because they're no longer accurate...
The GTK 3.0 release was made in Feb, 2011:
https://blog.gtk.org/2011/02/10/gtk-3-0-released/
That will soon be 7 years ago, which is enough time to consider
the 3.x series widely supported.
It's been more than 7 years now.
The SDL 2.0 release was made in Aug, 2013:
https://www.libsdl.org/release/
That will soon be 4 + 1/2 years ago, which is enough time to consider
the 2.0 series widely supported.
It's been more than 5 years now.
