When syncing a snapshot to another datastore, the source's verify_state
is currently carried over to the target. This reports the target
snapshot as verified even though its stored copy was never checked
there. Since verify jobs skip snapshots that already carry a
verify_state, the target's copy can't be verified again.
Chunks are checksummed in memory while being transferred, but a verify
serves a different purpose: confirming the write to the (external)
target actually succeeded.
This series stops the target from inheriting the source's
verify_state, so the target is verified independently. On pull, a
verify_state the target obtained on its own is preserved; on push the
state is dropped unconditionally. It also moves the blocking calls in
the touched code paths off the runtime's worker threads onto the
blocking thread pool.
Tested (verify_state correctly stripped on target):
* Pull, verified source, new content, clean sync
* Pull, verified source, existing content, clean sync
* Pull, corrupted target, resync-corrupt
* Push, verified source (has no corrupt path)
* Pull, independently-verified target, clean re-sync - state preserved
changes from v2 to v3 (thanks @Christian):
* offload remaining removes to `spawn_blocking()`
* add `target_path` parameter to `write_to_path` and perform the
rename inside the helper
* add a helper to return expected files as hashset
* refactor `cleanup_unreferenced_files` to take the hashset instead
of the manifest
changes from v1 to v2 (thanks @Christian):
* move the manifest write helper onto `BackupManifest`
* offload fsync, rename and cleanup to `spawn_blocking()`

The atomic renames and the unreferenced-file cleanup are blocking
operations that ran directly on the runtime's worker threads, stalling
other tasks scheduled there for their duration.
Use the tokio counterpart for the renames, the removes, and move the
cleanup onto the blocking thread pool.
Note that tokio::fs runs these on the blocking thread pool, which
carries some overhead over std::fs, but that is acceptable here as these
are one-off operations rather than tight loops.

When pushing a snapshot the target manifest is recreated from the source
manifest, copying its verify_state. As with pull, this makes the pushed
snapshot appear verified on the remote without its stored copy having
been checked there.
Strip verify_state after copying the unprotected section so the pushed
snapshot is verified independently on the target.

On a non-decrypt pull the source manifest is written to the target
as-is, so the target inherits the source's verify_state flag instead of
being verified independently on its own storage. Because a snapshot
carrying a verify_state is skipped by verify jobs, the target's copy can
never be checked.
The decrypt path already drops verify_state; do the same on the
non-decrypt path when the snapshot is newly pulled or re-synced due to
corruption. Also factor the manifest blob encoding and writing into a
helper, shared by both paths.
Additionally, refactor `cleanup_unreferenced_files` to accept the set of
expected files (built by new `expected_files` helper) rather than the
manifest itself, avoiding the need to share the manifest across the
write and cleanup steps.
