Using grayscale8 QImage (available in Qt>=5.5) avoids some array copies/conversion when dealing with text in the OpenGL backend.
This moves minimum required version from Qt5.3 to Qt5.5... I documented minimum version to 5.6 ton Linux to be inline with Windows and macOS. BTW, we don't test with an old version of pyQt... so the effective min version requirement is probably higher.
Small improvement/clean-up done while working on PR #3956
