This patch series modifies fssum to be able to verify POSIX
fsync/fdatasync guarantees. In particular, it allows single
files/symlinks to be passed as input, which allows us to verify
an fsync on a single file without checking the entire directory.

It also adds an option for non-recursive directory traversal,
which is useful because POSIX fsync doesn't guarantee that all
subdirectories are synced. Finally, it adds a flag that allows
file size to be ignored (currently enabled by default). This is
useful because POSIX fsync of a directory doesn't guarantee that
the data in the children is persisted.

These changes will be followed up with several Crashmonkey [1]
tests which make use of these changes.
