Lots of unencrypted Database Store messages

Description
In most cases (when both the storing/querying router and the floodfill router are new enough) the database store message should be garlic encrypted. This was added to I2NP in 0.9.7.
i2pd scrapes DSMs at the OBEP/IBGW and is still seeing a lot of RIs and LSs. For example, as a floodfill, one i2pd sees 971 current LSs compared to a network-wide median of 65.
Investigate whether these are just old routers or if there's some cases (e.g. verify) that are not encrypted. Consider stopping use of very old floodfills altogether.
