Bug Description

Splitting this one off from bug #1279502 as that one is more general in scope.

The most unsafe part of the VersionCheck module discussed in bug #1279502 is the binary version reporting, where a list of commands received from v.percona.com is executed with the --version switch after sanitizing the input, and their output is reported back.

This report is to disable that functionality in XtraBackup.
