**What problem is this PR intended to solve?** I'm deciding to drop support for earlier versions because: - 2.7.7 nanohttp.c doesn't compile on modern systems - 2.8.0 doesn't have PARSE_BIG_LINES, GNOME/libxml2@968a03a2 introduced it in 2.9.0 - 2.9.0 and 2.9.1 have the xpath optimization bug that ruined our CSS queries in :first-child broken with libxml 2.9.0 #829, GNOME/libxml2@b4bcba23 fixed it in 2.9.2 Also, bump the min recommended version to v2.12.0 because Nick has fixed a lot of long-standing issues upstream. ♥ ♥ ♥ Followup to #3232 Closes #3287 **Have you included adequate test coverage?** Existing coverage is sufficient. **Does this change affect the behavior of either the C or the Java implementations?** No.

In #3232 I bumped it to 2.7.7 but it turns out ...
PARSE_BIG_LINES, GNOME/libxml2@968a03a2 introduced it in 2.9.0We should also bump the min recommended version to something like 2.12 because Nick's been doing so much great work the last couple of years.
