b6f5df3b3f pcraft directory saves: re-verify a rolling share of cached objects; stronger file signature (#821)
Follow-up to #752. After a directory save verifies an object, later saves trust it while its
file signature is unchanged. A file damaged in place with the same length and modification
time (bit rot, or a tool that restores timestamps) was trusted until the writer was recreated.

- The signature also carries inode, device and change time on Unix, which an in-place rewrite
  changes even when the modification time is restored.
- Each directory save re-reads and re-checks cached objects, oldest-checked first, up to
  DEFAULT_REVERIFY_BUDGET (16 MiB of compressed data; at least one object), so over enough
  saves every object is read again and a damaged one is rewritten. Repeat saves of small
  documents stay a full check; large ones pay a bounded cost per save.
  PcraftWriter::set_reverify_budget tunes it (0 = trust signatures, u64::MAX = check all).
- PcraftWriter's doc comment states what the cache trusts.
- Tests: a same-size, same-mtime tamper is repaired on the next save (fails with the budget
  at 0 on Windows, where there is no change time), and with a 1-byte budget the rolling
  re-check reaches the damaged object within one pass over the objects.
