Description

Cassandra drivers such as the Python driver can automatically connect a supported version,
but I found that cqlsh does not automatically downgrade CQL version as the following.

$ cqlsh
Connection error: ('Unable to connect to any servers', {'127.0.0.1': ProtocolError("cql_version '3.4.2' is not supported by remote (w/ native protocol). Supported versions: [u'3.4.0']",)})

I think that the function is useful for cqlsh too.
Could someone review the attached patch?
