Fix controller/cmds talking to a pre-released DBD
A 17.02 controller,sacctmgr couldn't talk to a "master/17.11" DBD because the 17.02 client was talking attempting to talk to the DBD with the 17.02's MIN_PROTOCOL_VERSION -- which was 15.08 and is more than 2 version behind the master. The master's MIN_PROTOCOL_VERSION is 16.05, so it couldn't unpack the messages. The controller should always communicate at it's current protocol to the DBD. For federations, it's possible that a higher version controller could talk to a lower version controller. So the cluster needs to talk to the remote cluster using the remote cluster's protocol version -- which is given back from the DBD.
