fsck with error checking #31

Error checking/correction based on Reed-Solomon or something more suitable

Might be useful to just integrate zfec into the current processing pipeline: https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/zfec/browser/zfec/README.rst

It's quite fast, has a C API, and is being actively used in Tahoe-LAFS. Can't comment on code quality, but it does seem to be superior to par2 and other similar tools in most tests.

WIP but there is some additional work that has to be done: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/python-zfec.git/ is orphaned so I'll probably take this package and adapt it for EPEL. Until that there will be no support for forward error correction in zbackup.
