Transaction isolation was the only thing that springs to mind (when I
rearranged the protocol code, the per-transaction setting of isolation
level for older servers got thrown out), but there may well be other stuff.

I think we should either fix the regression tests to work against
7.0/7.1, or drop support for those versions entirely and refuse to
connect. I know which is easier :)
