What is being removed is support for kernels and xfsprogs that do not
support v5 file systems at all, not testing on v4 file system for the
test device and the large majority of tests using the scratch device
without specifying an explicit version.

The exception from the above are two sub-cases for v4 that are removed in
the this series - if we really care about them I could move them into
separate tests, but I doubt it's worth it.
