In Corda 4, FinalityFlow was updated to become an initiated flow, in order to ensure a node does not have to accept any signed transaction it receives without being able to check it first. The old behaviour of FinalityFlow was gated behind a targetPlatformVersion check, to prevent apps targeting V4 from using the old behaviour.
This is problematic for a few reasons. For an app wishing to be backwards compatible with a version running on V3, this forces the app to set targetPlatformVersion = 3, even if the app is thoroughly tested against V4. This goes against the purpose of the targetPlatformVersion. Another consequence is that an app remains pinned to targetPlatformVersion = 3 until it is sure that there are no other apps running at a lower version in the network, which would prevent newer versions of the app from taking advantage of features gated behind targetPlatformVersion checks. (Note that the restriction only prevents a new version of the app from initiating FinalityFlow with the old version - the old version is able to initiate a FinalityFlow and the new version will handle it, assuming the app has been written correctly.)
This fix removes the targetPlatformVersion check from FinalityFlow, and also provides a few documentation updates to clarify what level of testing would be expected to set a targetPlatformVersion.
Addressed review comments - removed nested if and added parameter name for the usage of requiresCertificates.
Removed unnecessary import and white space.

Normally, these requests are left unacknowledged in the MQ broker to allow recovery via installing the missing CorDapp. If this is not applicable then the request be dropped (and the other side informed of the error).
While the node is starting up, we now check for the presence of the certificates directory. This allows us to print out an easily understandable error message if the directory is not present. An exception is made for devMode, as devMode will result in the directory being created in any case.
