Since the linked commit, we stopped interpreting data source if the perf.data file doesn't have the new metadata version. This means that perf c2c will show no samples in this case. Keep the old behavior so old files can be opened, but also still show the new warning that updating might improve the decoding. Also re-write the warning to be more concise and specific to a user.
