Follow-up to #20707, which unified bootstrap metadata into the KRaft
zero checkpoint. As a side effect, a directory produced by a newer
kafka-storage tool can no longer be started by an older Kafka broker —
even if --release-version was set to an older version at format time.
The flag only chooses the initial feature levels; the on-disk checkpoint
layout itself is dictated by the tool's own code version.
