Do verification of checksums of annex objects downloaded from remotes.
* When annex objects are received into git repositories, their checksums are verified then too. * To get the old, faster, behavior of not verifying checksums, set annex.verify=false, or remote.<name>.annex-verify=false. * setkey, rekey: These commands also now verify that the provided file matches the key, unless annex.verify=false. * reinject: Already verified content; this can now be disabled by setting annex.verify=false. recvkey and reinject already did verification, so removed now duplicate code from them. fsck still does its own verification, which is ok since it does not use getViaTmp, so verification doesn't happen twice when using fsck --from.

This both prevents git-annex sync from pushing changes, and prevents
storing or removing files from read-only remote.
+* `remote.<name>.annex-verify`, `annex.verify`

+ By default, git-annex will verify the checksums of objects downloaded
+ from remotes. If you trust a remote and don't want the overhead
+ of these checksums, you can set this to `false`.
