Description

In anticipation of moving to routing protocol version 2 (we're currently on 1), there are a few changes needed to make it easy for version 2 to be backward compatible to version 1.  This Jira will track those changes.

The proposed change is to ensure that a version 1 router ignores version >1 messages, issuing a low-volume warning log when one is received.  This way, a version 2 router can send both versions or send targeted versions based on its knowledge of peer routers protocol versions.
