Sjors Provoost 9453c15361 ipc mining: break compatibility with existing clients (version bump)
This increments the field number of the `Init.makeMining` method and makes the
old `makeMining` method return an error, so existing IPC mining clients not
using the latest schema file will get an error and not be able to access the
Mining interface.

Normally, there shouldn't be a need to break compatibility this way, but the
mining interface has evolved a lot since it was first introduced, with old
clients using the original methods less stable and performant than newer
clients. So now is a good time to introduce a cutoff, drop deprecated methods,
and stop supporting old clients which can't function as well.

Bumping the field number is also an opportunity to make other improvements that
would be awkward to implement compatibly, so a few of these were implemented in
commits immediately preceding this one.
