Incorrect Default EVM Version for Solidity Compiler 0.4.21-0.5.4 (#189)

The default EVM version for Solidity compilers ranging from 0.4.21 to
0.5.4 is incorrectly implemented. Specifically, although the
`Constantinople` hard fork had been introduced during this period, the
default EVM version remains as `Byzantium`. After version 0.5.5, the
default EVM version shifts to `Petersburg`.

That is, `Constantinople` is never used as the default EVM version for
Solidity compilers.

This can be confirmed by running `solc --help`, with the output
indicating the default EVM version as follows:

```bash
$ solc --help
solc, the Solidity commandline compiler.

...

Allowed options:
  --help               Show help message and exit.
  --version            Show version and exit.
  --license            Show licensing information and exit.
  --evm-version version
                       Select desired EVM version. Either homestead,
                       tangerineWhistle, spuriousDragon, byzantium (default) or
                       constantinople.
  ...

$ solc --version
solc, the Solidity commandline interface
Version: 0.4.24+commit.e67f0147.Linux.g++
```
