libnvdimm/labels: Add a checksum calculation helper
In preparation for LIBNVDIMM to manage labels on CXL devices deploy helpers that abstract the label type from the implementation. The CXL label format is mostly similar to the EFI label format with concepts / fields added, like dynamic region creation and label type guids, and other concepts removed like BLK-mode and interleave-set-cookie ids. CXL labels support checksums by default, but early versions of the EFI labels did not. Add a validate function that can return true in the case the label format does not implement a checksum.
