src: make build pass with GCC < 4.5

Building node with GCC > 4.4 on CentOS makes the node binary depend on a
more recent version of the C/C++ runtime that is not installed by
default on these older CentOS platforms, and probably on other platforms
as well.

Building node with the default gcc and g++ compilers that come with
these older versions of CentOS allows to ship a node binary that runs
out of the box on these setups with older C/C++ runtimes.

This change works around a bug that was fixed in GCC 4.5. Versions of
GCC < 4.5 would not support using the injected-class-name of a
template base class as a type name.

This change also disables aliasing optimizations for toolchains using
GCC <= 4.4 as they're not able to deal with the aliasing in the queue
implementation used by libuv and node (see src/queue.h).

Fixes #9079.
