These patches add a check to phase 1 of garbage collection in order
to detect when the filesystem backing the chunk store does not honor
atime updates. This avoids possible data loss for situations where
garbage collection could otherwise delete chunks still referenced by
a backup snaphost's index file.

The check is performed by inserting a fixed size 4 MiB unencrypted and
compressed chunk of all-zeros. The check is performed by setting the
atime to 1 second in the past followed by setting it to now in order to
test if atime updates are honored immediately. The test is performed
on datastore creation for early detection and before garbage collection
phase 1. The test is enabled by default, but an opt-out option can be
set via the datastore tuning parameters for backwards compatibility.

Further, add a datastore tuning parameter to reduce the wait period for
chunk removal in phase 2 of garbage collection. Make this conditional on
the atime update check being enabled and successful, to avoid possible
data loss.

Most notable changes sice version 1 (thanks Fabian and Thomas for
comments and suggestions):
- Optimize check by using the all zero chunk
- Enable the check by default and fail GC job if not honored, but allow
  to opt-out
- Add GC wait period tuning option
