e2fsck: offer to clear inode table blocks that are insane
Add a new behavior flag to the inode scan functions; when specified,
this flag will do some simple sanity checking of entire inode table
blocks. If all the checksums are ok, we can skip checksum
verification on individual inodes later on. If more than half of the
inodes look "insane" (bad extent tree root or checksum failure) then
ext2fs_get_next_inode_full() can return a special status code
indicating that what's in the buffer is probably garbage.
When e2fsck' inode scan encounters the 'inode is garbage' return code
it'll offer to zap the inode straightaway instead of trying to recover
anything. This replaces the previous behavior of asking to zap
anything with a checksum error (strict_csum).
