Since way back, we've blindly pruned to 50 history entries, which can result in cluster_version{type="initial"} diverging from the actual, initial installed version. Because some things like install-time infrastructure depend on the initial version, we want to preserve that entry. This spike is about selecting:
- Which history entries we would prefer to prune instead.
- If we want to do something to the history data so that the presence of elided entries is explicit.
- If we want to backport any of those changes, or just have them be 4.dev and later.
