background check (sourceforge store_check branch)

Well I've got a beta quality UFS background check running happily here. I
just went and deleted a couple thousand swap files out from under squid
while it was running, and it caught their absence and released happily.

If anyone would like to play with it please do , it's on sourceforge.

Currently it works like the rebuild code - check x items at a time. I think
long term it really should have a queue of up to x items, and then run
callbacks for handling the results. Then UFS comes straight back, and AUFS /
diskd can be better used. However, one step at a time :].

I'd like to know that the approach is correct before I get into tuning it
like that.

I haven't done any changes to the aufs/diskd validation yet... but I should
have that committed this afternoon as the fs/ changes are trivial.
