[ML] Correcting model state min_version (#1546)

The model state min_version should indicate the minimum
node version required to restore the model state.  This
has not been updated since 6.4.0, meaning we have not had
the intended protection against model states being used on
nodes that are too old.  This change updates the
min_version to the correct version at present, which is
7.9.0 for latest state.
