base-files: allow ignoring minor compat-version check

Downstream projects might re-generate device-specific configuration
based on OpenWrt's defaults on each upgrade, thus being unaffected by
forward- as well as backwards-breaking configuration.

Add a new sysupgrade parameter, which allows sysupgrades between minor
compat-versions. Upgrades will still fail upon mismatching major compat
versions.
