HAMMER filesystem check / CRC verification

[Tomohiro Kusumi]

(resending as i forgot to send to users at ...)

# hammer -v -f ${DEV} blockmap
# hammer -v -f ${DEV} checkmap
# hammer -v -f ${DEV} show

These three do some validation from different point of view.
If the last two lines of each output says 0 error, then no error was found
at least by what these 3 commands test for.

Note that there seems to be a bug in hammer where a valid filesystem would
still show ^B in hammer show output. I usually run some test scripts (that
contain there 3 commands) before I commit something, but I see ^B in hammer
show every once in a while. It could be that the way hammer show tests the
filesystem is missing something and results in showing errors that aren't
really errors. This occurred at least back in DragonFly 4.0 era in 2014,
and it still does on 4.4. It has been on my todo list for a long time.
