- In the few places where we wrap errors, use the new Go 1.13 "%w"
construction instead of %s or %v.
- Where we create errors with constant strings, consistently use
errors.New and not fmt.Errorf.
- Remove capitalization from errors in the few places where we had that.
If we decide to recalculate the metadata we shouldn't start from
whatever we loaded from the database, as that data is wrong. We should
start from a clean slate.

I was working on indirecting version vectors, and that resulted in some
refactoring and improving the existing block indirection stuff. We may
or may not end up doing the version vector indirection, but I think
these changes are reasonable anyhow and will simplify the diff
significantly if we do go there. The main points are:
- A bunch of renaming to make the indirection and GC not about "blocks"
but about "indirection".
- Adding a cutoff so that we don't actually indirect for small block
lists. This gets us better performance when handling small files as it
cuts out the indirection for quite small loss in space efficiency.
- Being paranoid and always recalculating the hash on put. This costs
some CPU, but the consequences if a buggy or malicious implementation
silently substituted the block list by lying about the hash would be bad.
