Now that prairiedog is offline, it seems the oldest Bison in the
buildfarm is 2.3, as the vendor-supplied version for MacOS. Since
earlier versions are now untested, it seems we should now make that
the minimum, as in the attached. I took a quick look to see if that
would enable anything useful, but nothing stuck out.

Aside: The MSVC builds don't report the Bison version that I can see,
but otherwise it seems now the only non-Apple pre-3.0 animals are
prion (2.7) and the three Sparc animals on Debian 7 (2.5).
