ci: avoid using -Werror for older compilers
Don't enable `-Werror` (in the CI) for compilers at least older than
our current release compiler (GCC 10). It provides little-to-no value,
other than turning compiler bugs & false positives into build failures,
and we aren't going to mutate perfectly fine/working code, for the sake
of avoid a warning that shouldn't even exist.

I also do not see the point of playing whack-a-mole and turning off various
warnings/trying to further work around the broken compiler, just to
acheive warningless builds for the sake of warningless builds.

One anecdote from "How SQLite Is Tested":
> Static analysis has found a few bugs in SQLite, but those are the
> exceptions. More bugs have been introduced into SQLite while trying
> to get it to compile without warnings than have been found by static
> analysis.
