There is not yet a BWC layer in sequence numbers. This commit sets the
BWC version to 6.0.0 for the BWC and rolling upgrade tests until this
BWC layer is built.
This commit enables real BWC testing against a 5.1 snapshot. All
REST tests plus rolling upgrade test now run against a mixed version
cross major version cluster.
Change version, required a minor fix in the RPM building.
In case of a alpha/beta version, the release will contain alpha/beta
as the RPM version cannot contains dashes/tildes.
This change adds the infrastructure to run the rest tests on a multi-node
cluster that users 2 different minor versions of elasticsearch. It doesn't implement
any dedicated BWC tests but rather leverages the existing REST tests.
Since we don't have a real version to test against, the tests uses the current version
until the first minor / RC is released to ensure the infrastructure works.
