[RFC PATCH 1/6] travis.yml: Bump default environment to Ubuntu Bionic

[Wainer dos Santos Moschetta]

Currently some KVM tests are skipped because Travis' Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial)
does not provide nested virtualization (unlike Travis' Ubuntu 18.04). So
this switch the default job environment from Ubuntu Xenial to 18.04 (Bionic).

Notes:

1. The Ubuntu Bionic's libssh-dev package has a bug [1] that prevents QEMU
  from being built with ssh support. Therefore, the libssh-dev is not even
  installed in the job environment until a fix is not shipped.

  [1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1838763

2. The '[aarch64] GCC check-tcg' and '[ppc64] GCC check-tcg' jobs
  explicitly use Xenial so they aren't converted on this patch.
