So I've actually been assuming that users running older versions of Mesos
just change `mesos.version` in the build and package Spark, so in my head I've
sort of coupled "whether we compile against mesos X" and "whether users can run
on mesos X" as the same thing.
But as long as mesos keeps the IPC messages compatible (which I think they
do) then it really shouldn't matter whether we require compiling against the
newest client. Let me just check with them about this.
