Looks like upgrading using `startosinstall --eraseinstall` is still a no-no #6

This script should probably prevent the --eraseinstall option running an installer different to the current installed version.

When running with the --version=10.14 option on a MBP running macOS 10.13.6, this resulted in a failed install and a non-bootable system volume.

Need to test this more.

This may have been a bug with beta 11.
