Add possibility to unpersist data one generation younger #71
Conversation
Allow `Persister` and `Migrator` with version `V` to unpersist data that have not only version `X <= V` but also `V + 1`

I think it's better to use the word "newer" instead of "younger" to describe Versions with greater numbers than the older ones. It's just a vocabulary clarification, as we had misunderstanding discussing this.

How about renaming this method to andBackFrom? This way it will gramatically point out that this method should be called only once and at the end of the to method calls:
from[V1](...).to[V2](...).to[V3].andBackFrom[V4](...)
Or even:
from[V1](...).andBackFrom[V4](...)
While this:
from[V1](...).to[V2](...).andBackFrom[V3](...).to[V3](...)
and this:
from[V1](...).to[V2](...).andBackFrom[V3](...).andBackFrom[V4](...)
would automatically look suspicious in code and would be easier to catch in code reviews.

from[V1](...).to[V2](...).andBackFrom[V3](...).to[V3](...) - this is possible but will have no effect now
from[V1](...).to[V2](...).andBackFrom[V3](...).andBackFrom[V4](...) - this is impossible - will not compile in current version of code
