[PATCH 1/5] xfs_repair: refuse to run if we don't recognize version or feature flags

Apparently xfs_repair running on a v5 filesystem doesn't check the
compat, rocompat, or incompat feature flags for bits that it doesn't
know about, which means that old xfs_repairs can wreak havoc.  So,
strengthen the checks to prevent repair from "repairing" anything it
doesn't understand.
