mkfs fuzzes the image? Er....

Over in XFS land we have an xfs debugging tool (xfs_db) that knows how
to dump (and write!) most every field of every metadata type.  This
makes it fairly easy to write systematic level 0 fuzzing tests that
check how well the filesystem reacts to garbage data (zeroing,
randomizing, oneing, adding and subtracting small integers) in a field.
(It also knows how to trash entire blocks.)

You might want to write such a debugging tool for erofs so that you can
take apart crashed images to get a better idea of what went wrong, and
to write easy fuzzing tests.
