Add a verifier function callback capability to the buffer read interfaces. This will be used by the callers to supply a function that verifies the contents of the buffer when it is read from disk. This patch does not provide callback functions, but simply modifies the interfaces to allow them to be called. The reason for adding this to the read interfaces is that it is very difficult to tell fom the outside is a buffer was just read from disk or whether we just pulled it out of cache. Supplying a callbck allows the buffer cache to use it's internal knowledge of the buffer to execute it only when the buffer is read from disk. It is intended that the verifier functions will mark the buffer with an EFSCORRUPTED error when verification fails. This allows the reading context to distinguish a verification error from an IO error, and potentially take further actions on the buffer (e.g. attempt repair) based on the error reported.
