Summary:
This does not add any new public APIs or published
functionality, but adds the ability to read and use (and in tests,
write) backups with a new meta file schema, based on the old schema
but not forward-compatible (before this change). The new schema enables
some capabilities not in the old:
* Explicit versioning, so that users get clean error messages the next
time we want to break forward compatibility.
* Ignoring unrecognized fields (with warning), so that new non-critical
features can be added without breaking forward compatibility.
* Rejecting future "non-ignorable" fields, so that new features critical
to some use-cases could potentially be added outside of linear schema
versions, with broken forward compatibility.
* Fields at the end of the meta file, such as for checksum of the meta
file's contents (up to that point)
* New optional 'size' field for each file, which is checked when present
* Optionally omitting 'crc32' field, so that we aren't required to have
a crc32c checksum for files to take a backup. (E.g. to support backup
via hard links and to better support file custom checksums.)
Because we do not have a JSON parser and to share code, the new schema
is simply derived from the old schema.
BackupEngine code is updated to allow missing checksums in some places,
and to make that easier, `has_checksum` and `verify_checksum_after_work`
are eliminated. Empty `checksum_hex` indicates checksum is unknown. I'm
not too afraid of regressing on data integrity, because
(a) we have pretty good test coverage of corruption detection in backups, and
(b) we are increasingly relying on the DB itself for data integrity rather than
it being an exclusive feature of backups.

Test Plan:
new unit tests, added to crash test (some local run with
boosted backup probability)
