In the piece above we check for master’s gc vclock, which is vclock of the
oldest WAL the instance still has. If master’s gc vclock is less than our vclock,
no rebootstrap is needed. Master’ll be able to send us all the fresh data.
 Later we check whether our vclock is greater or incompatible with the remote
instance’s vclock. If it is, we cannot rebootstrap from the instance, since we have
some rows, that the instance doesn’t have.
