[Interest] minimum macOS runtime version for Qt 5.9+

[Pavel Mogilevskiy]

+1

Same here. We have users which don't have a chance for some reasons to 
upgrade to the latest OS X version, therefore we are using Qt 5.8 
(instead of Qt 5.9 LTS which we are using across other OSs) to support 
at least OSX 10.9.

So I vote for support older OS X versions as long as possible.
