2402aaa614 Bug fix from Kirk McKusick <mckusick@McKusick.COM>:
Fix a bug in fsck_ffs where if a directory somehow develops a hole
(that is a block pointer that has a value of zero), fsck would give the
filesystem a clean bill of health, but the kernel would panic when
accessing the directory with the hole. Fsck now checks for holes
in directories.  If found in preen mode, fsck fails.  In manual
mode, it can be directed to shorten the directory to the beginning of
the hole. A  more complete solution would be to allocate a block to fill
the hole. However, this is a lot more work for a `cannot happen' error,
so the extra effort seems unwarranted.

fea3644f0b check in changes proposed in PR 2006 (approved by J.T.), to rename fsck
to fsck_ffs, so that in the future 'fsck' can be a wrapper than invokes
appropriate filesystem-specific checker programs.  For now, the only
user-visible change is that the names have changed in the manual page
and in error messages; fsck and fsck.8 are now links to fsck_ffs and
fsck_ffs.8, until the rest of the transition is complete.
