Require a reasonably current DB version on upgrade
This removes support for upgrading the database from very old versions of MythTV (prior to 0.22). We haven't made such updates for several versions, but as the old upgrade code is affected by changes outside our control (both changes to Qt framework/Qt-MySQL drivers and changes to MySQL, itself), and because this ancient code is seldom tested with current versions of external code/programs, we need to limit supported upgrades to relatively recent upgrades that are testable/supportable. Users using older versions of MythTV can attempt to upgrade their existing databases by using intermediate versions of MythTV and attempt to work through any issues they encounter (even posting questions to the mythtv-users list). However, they should understand that upgrading from very old versions may not work due to things that have changed in the years since the upgrade code was written and tested.
