I bumped the UHD version dependency to 3.9.x because older versions of
UHD are no longer maintained and osmo-trx was already dependent on
3.9.x for certain functionality (mainly multi-trx and improved
timing). Build-time version checks were also causing user confusion.

I understand the unwanted effects and dislike the idea of forcing
users to move to more recent versions, however, Ettus Research does
not recommend building against the shipping 3.5 and 3.7 UHD versions
in Ubuntu 14.04 and Debian 8.0 respectively.

Recommended UHD versions are found in Debian 8.0 Backports and Ubuntu
14.04 Ettus Research PPA.
