Description

### Search before asking

- [x] I searched in the [issues](https://github.com/alibaba/fluss/issues) and found nothing similar.

### Motivation

We should guarantee the backward and forward compatibility for both client and server. That means:
- 0.7 client can work with 0.6- and 0.8+ servers.
- 0.7 server (TabletServer) can work with 0.6- and 0.8+ servers (CoordinatorServer) which is the rolling upgrade case

### Solution

Research direction

Start by mapping the client, TabletServer, and CoordinatorServer compatibility cases described in the issue, including rolling upgrades. Define the E2E test matrix for 0.6, 0.7, and 0.8+ versions; done means the specified backward and forward client/server combinations pass.
