The scope of server upgrade tests is to check whether there is any regression upon upgrade from an older version to the new version.

For this, both the older (stable release) version and the new build version should be tested with tests of the older version (since newer version may add tests for new features which may not be there before). We could not do this way since the Pytest on the older version was not able to support the server upgrade tests. We had to wait till a new stable release version is released after the server upgrade tests got merged.

With the release of version v1.1.1, the Pytests of the older (stable release) version is able to support server upgrade tests. So we should start using the Pytests of older version.

This also would take care the workarounds that we had for the failing tests with the skip_server_upgrade_tests marker.
