Increase cmake_minimum_required to 3.5

Increase cmake_minimum_required to address the below warning when building on CMake version 3.27 on Debian unstable:

CMake Deprecation Warning at CMakeLists.txt:1 (cmake_minimum_required):
Compatibility with CMake < 3.5 will be removed from a future version of
CMake.

Commit

• Increase cmake_minimum_required to 3.5

CMake version 3.27 deprecates compatibility with versions older than 3.5. Increase the minimum required so that the project can be built without warnings.

I'm not a Cmake expert. Are you aware of any version issues in our usage of Make?

https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/-/issues/25196 seems like a/the relevant CMake issue. As far as I can tell, at the moment this is "just" a warning.

So merge choice here would according to how much value one places to compatibility with the latest vs. compatibility with the very old.

Informally the versions were selected based on Ubuntu LTS versions. Ubuntu 14.04 packaged CMake 2.8.12.2, and Ubuntu 16.04 packaged CMake 3.5.

Based on the above I'm in favor of increasing the minimum.
