<nod> I implemented online and offline repair today and made a few more
tweaks; after I let it run through QA overnight I'll send that out to
the list.

Note that I moved the to_disk/from_disk helpers back to xfs_da_format.h
and added some more hooks to fsverity so that online fsck can do some
basic checks for stale merkle tree blocks and the like.

Also I modified xfs_verity_write_merkle to skip trailing zeroes to save
space, and changed the hash function to use the merkle tree offset so
that the merkle blocks get written out in linear(ish) order with fewer
hash collisions in the xattr index.

That said, I think we're close to finished on this one. :)
