k/group_metadata: added compatibility with incorrectly serialized keys

Previously in redpanda we had an error leading to wrapping tombstone
record keys with an iobuf serialization envelope. In order to provide
compatibility and be able to read keys wrapped with an additional iobuf
we introduce this check. The check validates the key version being in
allowed range. Otherwise we try to unwrap a key from iobuf.
