xfs: verify invalid metadata LSN detection

XFS v5 superblock fs' use metadata LSN tracking to determine when an
on-disk structure was last written to disk. This is used to ensure log
recovery operates correctly after an unclean shutdown. To work
correctly, the on-disk metadata LSNs must always remain behind the
current LSN with respect to the log.

Historically, xfs_repair had a problem where it incorrectly formats the
log to an LSN that is potentially behind existing metadata LSNs. As
such, xfs_repair and the kernel have been updated to prevent, detect and
recover from the problem. Add a test that intentionally formats the log
incorrectly and verifies that the fs fails to mount and that xfs_repair
detects the invalid metadata LSNs.
