clawbot ee09cda355 Never scan an operand inside a .zfs directory (closes #142)
check / check (push) Waiting to run
An operand inside a directory named .zfs was walked, because the
operand check looked only at the operand's own name. The check now
also looks at every directory above the operand, both as given and
with its symlinks resolved. Such an operand gets a warning, counts as
skipped and is not walked, whether given alone or under another
operand. The check runs before overlapping operands are pruned, so an
operand under another one still gets its warning.

The test for an operand named .zfs now writes its record beneath .zfs
straight into the database, since no scan stores one there any more.

Judgement call: a path component named .zfs counts whatever it is, a
symlink included.

clawbot aa99b37b99 Skip removed paths silently and fix the progress line (closes #133)
check / check (push) Canceled after 0s
A path removed while the scan runs gets no warning and no skipped
count, in the walk or the hash phase. If the first of several hard
links is gone, the next is read. Other errors are still warned about.

On a terminal every display is the library's spinner, then the line. A
phase with an exact total ends the padded line with its percent and a
bar at a fixed column, drawn by sfdupes, as the library shows no
spinner beside its own bar. A too-wide line loses its rate first.

The time remaining is labelled remain, not eta.

Judgement call: an operand removed mid-scan is skipped silently too.
Deviation: README's stalled-line example keeps its words on 100
columns, not 80.

clawbot 68881f04f2 Store each hash as its raw 32 bytes in a BLOB column (closes #134)
check / check (push) Canceled after 0s
The head, tail and content columns of the files table are BLOB NOT
NULL and hold the raw 32-byte SHA-256, half the size of the hex text,
in the table and in the files_signature index. The hash phase, the
records, report and trees carry each hash as a [sha256.Size]byte and
compare it with ==; nothing is hex-encoded. Reading a record whose
hash column is not 32 bytes is an error naming its path.

In the tests, testHash is a stand-in hash: a string's bytes padded
with zeros, so fixtures keep the sort order their strings give.

Judgement call: a hash of the wrong length is refused on reading,
not copied silently.

clawbot f7a746f912 Hash every file's head, tail and content in the hash phase (closes #132)
check / check (push) Canceled after 0s
Every file the walk records now gets three hashes: head and tail, of
its first and last 64 KiB, and content. The content hash covers the
whole file under 100 MiB, and 1 MiB at each gigabyte from 100 MiB up,
so a large file is never read in full. One 100 MiB constant replaces
the 10 MiB and 50 MiB thresholds. The size census, the records stored
without hashes and the content phase are gone, so a rescan reads only
new and changed files. report and trees no longer special-case a
missing content hash. README "Duplicate detection" and "Rationale" are
rewritten.

Judgement call: info drops its two hash-count lines, which now always
equal the record count.
