feat: increase DCBACKUP_VERSION with PGP-contacts (#6929)
This way, we prevent users from running into problems when importing an
old backup.
Note that this is not strictly necessary, but a decision of assuming
that this is better for usability - importing a new backup into an old
DC version would mostly work fine, but there would be weird bugs. E.g.,
after updating the imported profile to PGP-contacts, the migration
wouldn't run a second time, so that all peerstate changes since the
device was updated would get lost.

Not sure why Desktop shows a nice error message, while Android shows a
cryptic "IMEX failed to complete", though for this release, it's too
late to change this (except if we want to make a quick release before
PGP-contacts, which improves the error message).
_Edit:_ It's because I used Add-second-device for Desktop, and
import-file for Android. Would be nice to improve the error message when
importing a backup, but this is out of scope for this PR. I created an
issue: #6930 This is not a
blocker for the PGP-contacts release, because as I said, it's too late
to change this except if we want to make another release before the
PGP-contacts release.
