mtest: handle TAP tests with unknown version.

TAP 14 states:
> Harnesses may treat any TAP stream lacking a version as a failed test.

TAP 13 states:
> In the absence of any version line version 12 is assumed. It is an
> error to explicitly specify any version lower than 13.

So, modern TAP is saying that we should treat a missing version as a
test definition bug, it's no longer okay to use a missing version as
saying "let's use TAP 12". But, we can choose whether to treat it that
way or error out.

Let's do a diagnostic, as we do elsewhere. But allow TAP streams that
aren't well defined, if they used to be well defined (back in TAP 12).
