The CQL binary protocol version 3 was introduced in 2014. All Scylla
version support it, and Cassandra versions 2.1 and newer.
Versions 1 and 2 have 16-bit collection sizes, while protocol 3 and newer
use 32-bit collection sizes.
Unfortunately, we implemented support for multiple serialization formats
very intrusively, by pushing the format everywhere. This avoids the need
to re-serialize (sometimes) but is quite obnoxious. It's also likely to be
broken, since it's almost untested and it's too easy to write
cql_serialization_format::internal() instead of propagating the client
specified value.
Since protocols 1 and 2 are obsolete for 9 years, just drop them. It's
easy to verify that they are no longer in use on a running system by
examining the `system.clients` table before upgrade.
