changes/ticket27252

+  o Minor features (continuous integration):
+    - Skip gcc on OSX in Travis CI, it's rarely used.
+      Skip a duplicate hardening-off build in Travis on Tor 0.2.9.
+      Skip gcc on Linux with default settings, because all the non-default
+      builds use gcc on Linux.
+      Implements ticket 27252.
