cbrestore is not backwards compatible

Description

Problem
When using cbrestore with a backup generated from a 4.5.1 the following exception is thrown:

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Setup a 1 node cluster on 4.5.1 with the travel-sample bucket

  2. Backup the cluster using {cbbackup} on 4.5.1.

  3. Setup a 1 node cluster on 4.6.2 with a empty name called test:

  4. Restore the backup using the {cbrestore} on 4.6.2:

Workaround
Use the cbrestore from Couchbase Server 4.5.1 to do the restore against the 4.6.2 cluster.

Expectation

  1. For cbrestore to be backwards compatible

    1. If it is not possible to be backwards compatible a clear log message should be generated.

This issue is a duplicate of which is fixed in 4.6.3.
Updating the fix version.

Verified on build 4.6.4-4544. I am able to use cbrestore from 4.6.4 to restore data from 4.5.1

this went into 4.6.3-4108 so 4.6.4 should already have it - please verify and close it out
