Prototype implementation of format suggested/requested by @avikivity:
Divides segments into disk-write-alignment sized pages, each tagged with segment ID + CRC of data content.
When read, we both verify sector integrity (CRC) to detect corruption, as well as matching ID read with expected one.
If the latter mismatches we have a prematurely terminated segment (read truncation), which, depending on whether the CL is
written in batch or periodic mode, as well as explicit sync, can mean data loss.
Note: all-zero pages are treated as kosher, both to align with newly allocated segments, as well as fully terminated (zero-page) ones.
Note: This is a preview/RFC - the rest of the file format is not modified. At least parts of entry CRC could probably be removed, but I have not done so yet (needs some thinking).
Note: Some slight abstraction breaks in impl. and probably less than maximal efficiency.
v2:
* Removed entry CRC:s in file format.
* Added docs on format v3
* Added one more test for recycling-truncation
v3:
* Fixed typos in size calc and docs
* Changed sect metadata order
* Explicit iter type
