Drop explicit support for Node.js v5 (#936)

Node.js v5 has been dropped by node core as it is not an LTS version. We still support 0.10 and 0.12 because there are a few devices out there who absolutely cannot upgrade. (The begalbone black is one of them.) When this changes or if their use drops we'll drop support for pre Node 4.0.
