2019-07-18-syncthing-update-incompatibility: some clarifications
1. Explicitly say not to install 1.2.0+ in legacy clusters; 2. While talking about Syncthing on Debian Stretch, make it clear that it is the distribution-provided packages which could cause problems (Syncthing upstream provides .deb packages as well). Signed-off-by: Marek Szuba <marecki@gentoo.org>

Title: Syncthing 1.2.0 and newer do not interoperate with 0.14.45 and older

Starting with version 1.2.0, Syncthing always uses large, variable-sized,
blocks to index and transfer files larger than 256 MiB [1]. Syncthing
version 0.14.45 and older will initially appear to accept files scanned
-with large blocks, but will later panic during some internal file
-operations. Do NOT enable large blocks in clusters with devices still
-on v0.14.45 or older, e.g. Debian Stretch servers using official packages.
+with large blocks, but will later panic and shut down during some internal
+file operations. Do NOT install those versions, or enable large blocks in
+older versions, in clusters with devices still on v0.14.45 or older,
+e.g. Debian Stretch servers using distribution-provided packages.
