[FLINK-6566] [core] More restricted interface for VersionedIOReadableWritable hooks This PR makes the method hooks for defining compatible serialization versions of `VersionedIOReadableWritable`s more restricted. Functionally everything remains the same, but with lesser space for error-prone user implementations. It also allows for a better error message to indicate version mismatch.
