[swift-dev] [RFC] Requiring CMake 3.4.3 by Prerequisite.

[Joseph Bell]

Michael, as I mentioned earlier I upgraded my systems to 3.4.3 and resumed
building Swift.  Regarding flipping the switch, I'm assuming you mean
replacing

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.12)

with 3.4.3 in all of the various CMakeLists.txt files?
