Build a possibility to upgrade existing FCM4 arays created by <8.6.2 to the new functionality with ransomware detection

Many customer will install on LTS versions for stability and fast coming PTFs. We will now deliver FCM4 modules with better ransomware detection possibilities. But it will not possible to use this with arrays formatted <8.6.2 , what is a CD version. It should be possible for the customer to upgrade later on a new LTS to the new  ransomware detection possibilities without deleting the existing arrays.

    To enable ransomware threat detection on a DRAID array created on earlier code level, you must migrate off the data and recreate the array.

    Ransomware threat detection on FCM4 will not be supported on DRAID arrays created before 8.6.2

    8.6.2+ uses a different data layout to track detailed volume-level statistics for threat detection. You cannot upgrade between the data layouts.

    Customers with FCM4 drives in the system will get the same warning in the GUI when they attempt to create the array.

    Ransomware threat detection feature will be in 8.6.3.
