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).
