    hammer2 - Add "hammer2 recover" directive, recover/undo single file, part 1
    
    * Adds the 'hammer2 recover' directive.  The initial commit only allows
      a single filename to be recovered.  You specify the filename, not a
      path.
    
      A future version of this directive will be capable of recovering
      whole directory structures.  This initial version can be used to
      recover important specific files that you absolutely need to undo
      or restore.
    
    * This directive requires root access because it does a raw scan of the
      hammer2 media.  The media will be scanned in 2 passes, so a recovery
      operation can take a while.
    
      The operation may be executed on live media.  However, if trying to
      restore a deleted file you might want to temporarily disable the
      hammer2 periodics until recovery is done to ensure that a bulkfree
      operation is not executed during the restoral.  This will improve
      your chances of restoring the lost files.
    
      Note that the scan does not currently make the distinction between
      data blocks and meta-data blocks.  It scans everything under the
      assumption that the media might be corrupt.  Thus it is possible
      for user data to be misinterpreted as meta-data.  However, even
      though this is possible, the scan does CRC checks and further
      validation so in all likelihood user data will not confuse it.
    
    * In pass 1, the operation scans the media for stuff that looks like
      directory entries.  If the filename is found, the inode number is
      recorded in pass 1.
    
      In pass 2, searches the media for blockref entries for inodes matching
      any inode number found in pass 1.   Matching entries are restored
      as "<destdir>/<filename>.<sequence_number>", %05ld so
      .00001, .00002, etc.
    
      Multiple versions of the same file with the same inode number,
      multiple versions of the same file with different inode numbers,
      and different files with the same filename, will all be restored.
    
    * The recovery operation is able to validate the full content of the
      inode.  If any content is found to be corrupted, as much of the file
      as possible will be restored but the file will be renamed
      "<filename>.<seqno>.corrupted" and perms will not be restored.
      Ownership and mtime will still be restored.
