Patrick McCarty e6cdcf8aa1 verify: enforce format transitions ...

When using verify's -m option, it generally only makes sense to verify a
build within the same format, since the subsequent format (if any) might
not be compatible. Therefore, we should disallow verifying to a build
with a different format by default. This commit adds the proper
enforcement by making this condition a fatal error. The early exit can
be bypassed using the -x/--force option, which will print a warning
message instead.

For now, this compatibility check is targeting the use case of verifying
to a newer build, so I also report the latest supported build for the
current format. Verifying to an older build is not guaranteed to succeed
at present, and swupd-client does not yet understand the
version/formatN/first file. In other words, reporting to the user the
oldest build they can verify to will be a future improvement.
