Rebuilding the SBT (like in #446) might be expensive, and most of the times the underlying data doesn't change, only the JSON file describing the SBT. Add a command (sourmash sbt upgrade?) to bring an older SBT to the latest version.

This also works for signatures (sourmash sig upgrade?), since we dropped support for the old YAML sigs and there is no clear path on how to use them now...

#1059 makes it possible to build a new SBT from an old database, but it doesn't really address the expense issue. On the other hand, building our databases doesn't seem to be very expensive any more, either!
