Alamofire: Please add support for iOS 8

[romk1n]

There are plenty of devices still running iOS 8, would it be possible to lower the podspec to use iOS 8.

iOS8 is no longer supported by Apple - it doesn't make sense to support it in libraries. Just release new versions of your app for iOS9+ and your existing iOS8 users will still be ok.

iOS8 usage is 5.5% but I doubt those are the devices actively doing app updates.

@romk1n You can see issue #1367 for our full reasoning behind dropping iOS 8 support.

Please add Support for iOS 8.0. drop supporting iOS 8 leads to a situation that Swift 3 developers have to choose between Alamofire or iOS 8.0 users.

[adamn]

Just stick with Swift 2.3 (instead of 3) with Alamofire 3.x and you'll be fine with iOS8+. iOS 8 isn't even supported by Apple anymore.
