This adds the scaffolding (docs, config, mount options) for supporting the new digest field in the metacopy xattr. This contains a fs-verity digest that need to match the fs-verity digest of the lowerdata file. The mount option "verity" specifies how this xattr is handled. If you enable verity ("verity=on") all existing xattrs are validated before use, and during metacopy we generate verity xattr in the upper metacopy file (if the source file has verity enabled). This means later accesses can guarantee that the same data is used. Additionally you can use "verity=require". In this mode all metacopy files must have a valid verity xattr. For this to work metadata copy-up must be able to create a verity xattr (so that later accesses are validated). Therefore, in this mode, if the lower data file doesn't have fs-verity enabled we fall back to a full copy rather than a metacopy. Actual implementation follows in a separate commit.
