ovl: Add versioned header for overlay.metacopy xattr
Historically overlay.metacopy was a zero-size xattr, and it's existence marked a metacopy file. This change adds a versioned header with a flag field, a length and a digest. The initial use-case of this will be for validating a fs-verity digest, but the flags field could also be used later for other new features. ovl_check_metacopy_xattr() now returns the size of the xattr, emulating a size of OVL_METACOPY_MIN_SIZE for empty xattrs to distinguish it from the no-xattr case.
