XAPI now rejects the default keysize of 7.x era, which must be regenerated before upgrading to 8.3. Let the installer refuse to initiate a situation where a Rolling Pool Upgrade would be unable to proceed, with not-yet-updated slaves holding the running VMs getting refused connection to the updated part of the pool.

Results in this failure, but only after the user gave authorization to write the backup:

cert-too-small

Submitted upstream as xenserver#167

Can we add "(see the Release Notes for XCP-ng 8.3)" ? This will likely remain accurate even if people upgrade to a later release.

Added, in a separate XCP-ng-specific patch.
