Subject: [PATCH] Fix a crash (assert) when client set serial version < 24 in
 INIT command SER_FMT_VER_LOWEST is set to zero, then the test is stupid in
 INIT because all client works. In mapblock we check if client's serialization
 version is < 24, but if client sent serialization version < 24 (15 for
 example) the server set it and tried to send nodes, then BOOM
