KUDU-1336 (take 2). Add a simple preflight check for thirdparty build

We've had a lot of users hit common build problems like not using a new enough
C++11 compiler on RHEL6. This commit adds a simple set of pre-flight checks
that will hopefully make it easier for new users to build Kudu.

I tested this by running an ubuntu:14.04 docker image, running preflight.py and
installing whatever it asked me to until it passed. This seemed to cover all
of the packages mentioned in the install docs.

I also verified that this passed on a RHEL6 system with devtoolset.

This is a second attempt at committing this patch after the first attempt
was reverted. This revision differs by not requiring 'gdb', since it isn't
actually necessary to build Kudu, despite being recommended in the docs.
