Remove Node.js 6 and Node.js 8 support

See original GitHub issue

Feature Proposal

Description

Both versions have already reached End-of-Life and no longer receive security updates. Supporting those versions, especially 6.x, stops the codebase of leveraging useful features from new ES versions, namely async..await for instance.

See: https://github.com/nodejs/Release#end-of-life-releases

Similar or dependent issues:

  • #6076 (this targetted Node.js 6 as well, but only deprecated Node.js 4)

I’ve also renamed it to “Remove … support”, as technically we plan to remove support, not just deprecate.

Also as v6 and v8 are EOL’d I think they’re naturally assumed as deprecated, I assume it’s no point to add some extra warning logs in v1 for that.
