[midPoint] Upgrades and version consistency

[Pavol Mederly]

To be honest, the error message is a bit cryptic. But, nevertheless, 
midPoint will not start.

And yes, it requires the "validate" option to be set. It is the default 
for all databases other than H2.

Would the application check the database version and refuse to start, or would the error be more subtle? Is there a way to query to check that the database scripts have been run and are on the correct version?
