repository: add a helper function to perform repository format upgrade

In version 1 of repository format, "extensions" gained special meaning
and it is safer to avoid upgrading when there are pre-existing
extensions.

Make list-objects-filter to use the helper function instead of setting
repository version directly as a prerequisite of exposing the upgrade
capability.
