bb_clientd was hardcoded to report API version 2.3 regardless of upstream provider capabilities, causing Bazel 8+ compatibility issues when proxying to servers limited to older API versions (like 2.0).
This change implements proper API version intersection logic in MergingProvider to negotiate the highest mutually supported version between upstream providers.
Particularly relevant for Bazel 8+, which uses output_files vs output_paths based on reported server version.
