BUCash (1.1.2.0) accepts both kind of magic for incoming connections.
By default we are using old magic to connect to the cash nodes.

outgoing connections
(https://github.com/BitcoinUnlimited/BitcoinUnlimited/pull/796).

If all clients are going to deprecate completely the old magic we are going to
implement changes that will enforce the use of the new set for incoming
connections.
