Stacked atop #2360.

This bumps the "nag banner" threshold so it shows on all 9.x. As noted in the commit message, this won't be ready to merge until 2026-07-16, when all 9.x servers age out of the support window.

Zulip Server 8.5, the last release in the 8.x series, was released
2024-08-01:
  https://blog.zulip.com/2024/08/01/zulip-server-8-5-bug-fix-release/
So all 8.x releases (and older) have been outside the 18-month
support window since 2026-02-01.  As noted when filing issue zulip#1839,
that means we can skip past 8.0 and require 9.0.

The versions in the store_test snapshot test were below the new
minimum; bump them to 9.0 and 10.0, which are equally arbitrary
for that test's purposes.

Fixes: zulip#1839

Zulip Server 9.4, the last release in the 9.x series, was released
2025-01-16:
  https://blog.zulip.com/2025/01/16/zulip-server-9-4-security-release/
So all 9.x releases fall outside the 18-month support window as of
2026-07-16.  That date is a week away as of this writing; this
change should not be merged before then.
