build: require glibc 2.18+ for release builds
From what I can see the only platform this drops support for is CentOS 7. CentOS 7 reached the end of it's "full update" support at the end of 2020. It does receive maintenance updates until 2024, however I don't think supporting glibc 2.17 until 2024 is realistic. Note that anyone wanting to self-compile and target a glibc 2.17 runtime could build with --disable-threadlocal. glibc 2.18 was released in August 2013. https://sourceware.org/legacy-ml/libc-alpha/2013-08/msg00160.html
