This performs a relatively weak in-memory translation of index file
data. It does not, in most cases, write the corrected data to disk, and
it emits a warning directly to STDERR each time it loads a deprecated
index.
Known limitations:
- It cannot recover certain bogus records that earlier alpha releases
generated (notably, where all chartfile data is missing)
- In some cases, it has to parse a filename to get version info. This is
lossy.
- Because it takes three passes through the YAML and JSON unmarshal, it
is not performant.
This feature is transitional and should be removed during the Beta
cycle, prior to the release of 2.0.0.
Closes#1265
