Introduce CHashVerifier to hash read data

This is necessary later, when we drop the nVersion field from the undo
data. At that point deserializing and reserializing the data won't
roundtrip anymore, and thus that approach can't be used to verify
checksums anymore.

With this CHashVerifier approach, we can deserialize while hashing the
exact serialized form that was used. This is both more efficient and
more correct in that case.
