[PATCH v3 10/10] builtin/fsck: move loose object verification into the loose source

From

In-Reply-To
<20260911-pks-odb-source-fsck-v3-0-ef2fdc085e38@pks.im>

The consistency checks for loose objects are hosted by "builtin/fsck.c". These checks are obviously specific to the "loose" backend.

Move the logic into `odb_source_loose_fsck()`. Introduce a new "verbose" flag so that we can properly retain semantics around whether or not we want to print some status messages.

Note that this fixes a bug as a side effect: the progress meter was captured in the callback data before `start_progress()` was even called, so the per-subdirectory progress updates always operated on a NULL pointer and the meter jumped straight from 0 to 256 upon completion. The new code only sets up the callback data's progress meter after it has been created, so the progress display now advances incrementally again.
