Drop support for Node.js 6.x in Fastify v3 #1647

Description

Hi all,
below you can find the proposal, for Fastify v3, as discussed in PR#1618.

🚀 Feature Proposal

Drop support for Node.js 6.x , from documentation, CI build configurations, etc.

Motivation

Because that release is no more under support, and the majority of installations now seems to be with Node.js 8.x or 10.x .
This would even improve the (right) perception that Fastify is aligned with the state-of-the-art Node.js using latest stable features.

All changes to be done in the 'next' branch.
Note that there was an old issue for this: issues#1177, closed since some time.

Example

This would help to simplify code base, using Node.js 8.x features too, but for that I'll raise another feature request (linked to this).

Thanks.
