Description

Compatibility test for EC, introduced in 1.3.0, needs some rework to support further releases.

Currently the tests exercise pre-EC clients with EC data written by current version (built from source). Some operations are expected to be rejected for old clients.

Future releases (1.4.0, etc.) will also support EC. If we want to test compatibility between e.g. 1.3.0 and 1.4.0, we cannot simply run the same test that expects rejected operations.
