Before this commit, we would assume that all of the system tables that
we wanted to restore were present in the backup. However, this is not
necessarily true since system tables can be added between releases.
Release note (bug fix): Previously cluster backups taken from before
20.2 could not be restored in 20.2 clusters, with an error message about
failing to restore a system table. This is now fixed.
