Subject: read-cache: force_verify_index_checksum

Teach git to skip verification of the SHA1-1 checksum at the end of
the index file in verify_hdr() which is called from read_index()
unless the "force_verify_index_checksum" global variable is set.

Teach fsck to force this verification.

The checksum verification is for detecting disk corruption, and for
small projects, the time it takes to compute SHA-1 is not that
significant, but for gigantic repositories this calculation adds
significant time to every command.

These effect can be seen using t/perf/p0002-read-cache.sh:

Test                                          HEAD~1            HEAD
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0002.1: read_cache/discard_cache 1000 times   0.66(0.44+0.20)   0.30(0.27+0.02) -54.5%
