What is the need to change the protocol version for this parameter? As
per my understanding, we only need a different protocol version when
we are sending some new message or some additional information in an
existing message as we have done for the streaming/two_phase options
which doesn't seem to be the case here.

It seems we already have a similar option named 'only_local' in
TestDecodingData which has the exactly same functionality. So, isn't
it better to name this as 'only_local' instead of 'local_only'? Also,
let's add a test case for 'only_local' option of test_decoding.
