Christopher Haster 5fa85583cd Dropped block-level erased-state checksums for RAM-tracked erased-state
Unfortunately block-level erased-state checksums (becksums) don't really
work as intended.

An invalid becksum _does_ signal that a prog has been attempted, but a
valid becksum does _not_ prove that a prog has _not_ been attempted.

Rbyd ecksums work, but only thanks to a combination of prioritizing
valid commits and the use of perturb bits to force erased-state changes.
It _is_ possible to end up with an ecksum collision, but only if you
1. lose power before completing a commit, and 2. end up with a
non-trivial crc32c collision. If this does happen, at the very least the
resulting commit will likely end up corrupted and thrown away later.

Block-level becksums, at least as originally designed, don't have either
of these protections. To make matters worse, the blocks these becksums
reference contain only raw user data. Write 0xffs into a file and you
will likely end up with a becksum collision!

This is a problem for a couple of reasons:

1. Progging multiple times to erased-state is likely to result in
   corrupted data, though this is also likely to get caught with
   validating writes.

   Worst case, the resulting data looks valid, but with weakened data
   retention.

2. Because becksums are stored in the copy-on-write metadata of the
   file, attempting to open a file twice for writing (or more advanced
   copy-on-write operations in the future) can lead to a situation where
   a prog is attempted on _already committed_ data.

   This is very bad and breaks copy-on-write guarantees.

---

So clearly becksums are not fit for purpose and should be dropped. What
can we replace them with?

The first option, implemented here, is RAM-tracked erased state. Give
each lfsr_file_t its own eblock/eoff fields to track the last known good
erased-state. And before each prog, clear eblock/eoff so we never
accidentally prog to the same erased-state twice.

It's interesting to note we don't currently clear eblock/eoff in all
file handles, this is ok only because we don't currently share
eblock/eoff across file handles. Each eblock/eoff is exclusive to the
lfsr_file_t and does not appear anywhere else in the system.

The main downside of this approach is that, well, the RAM-tracked
erase-state is only tracked in RAM. Block-level erased-state effectively
does not persist across reboots. I've considered adding some sort of
per-file erased-state tracking to the mdir that would need to be cleared
before use, but such a mechanism ends up quite complicated.

At the moment, I think the best second option is to put erased-state
tracking in the future-planned bmap. This would let you opt-in to
on-disk tracking of all erased-state in the system.

One nice thing about RAM-tracked erased-state is that it's not on disk,
so it's not really a compatibility concern and won't get in the way of
additional future erased-state tracking.

---

Benchmarking becksums vs RAM-tracking has been quite interesting. While
in theory becksums can track much more erased-state, it's quite unlikely
anything but the most recent erased-state actually ends up used. The end
result is no real measurable performance loss, and actually a minor
speedup because we don't need to calculate becksums on every block
write.

There are some pathological cases, such as multiple write heads, but
these are out-of-scope right now (note! multiple explicit file handles
currently handle this case beautifully because we don't share
eblock/eoff!)

Becksums were also relatively complicated, and needed extra scaffolding
to pass around/propagate as secondary tags alongside the primary bptr.
So trading these for RAM-tracking also gives us a nice bit of code/stack
savings, albeit at a 2-word RAM cost in lfsr_file_t:

           code          stack          structs
  before: 33888           2864             1096
  after:  33564 (-1.0%)   2816 (-1.7%)     1104 (+0.7%)

  lfsr_file_t before: 104
  lfsr_file_t after:  112 (+7.7%)
