since the cat command can be used to create bad
gbe files, if the checksums don't match. my rule
is that nvmutil must never be used to destroy
data, only correct it (e.g. a file with just one
valid part can have it copied to the other part,
but you can't copy a bad part - and i removed
the "brick" command).
i *did* disable checksum requirements on the
dump command. with this, you can check the nvm
area and it tells you what the correct checksum
could be. then you could just correct it in a
hex editor if you wanted to, quite easily.
the idea is to slow down the act of destroying
or corrupting data as much as possible. someone
wily enough can use a hex editor to patch up some
files just fine.

no build error at the moment, nor would there be if
using clang or gcc, but i imagine some buggy compilers
might complain.
remember: portability. i also want this code to compile
on old, buggy compilers.
logically, this initialisation is redundant.

the current test is a bit over-engineered, so

these take any file size of gbe file: 8KB, 16KB
or 128KB. so does the normal cat.
then you can use cat, cat16 or cat128. these
output to stdout, the corresponding size in KB.
0xFF padding used on the larger files. on the
larger files, the first 4KB of each half is the
GbE parts, and everything else is 0xFF padding.
now you can resize gbe files easily, example:
./nvmutil gbe128.bin > gbe8.bin
yes

it *is* cat. it's catting two GbE parts. so its cat.
(two 4KB areas, plus padding when i add cat16/cat128)

it doesn't cat. it outputs one file.

with this, you can read 16KB and 128KB files, and output
them to stdout, but it outputs 8KB
for example:
./nvmutil gbe128.bin > gbe8.bin
now you have a 8KB file
i could probably easily add cat16 and cat128 too.
nvmutil reads two 4KB parts regardless of GbE file
size (one from the first 4KB of each half of the
file), so this was easy to implement.

don't cast unsigned to signed.
no behaviour is changed, but this will prevent some
silly compilers complaining about -Wsign-conversion

i removed this before, but it's good to put it
here defensively, in case i ever mess up
the urandom read function again.

i forgot to handle it in the previous refactor
not really a problem in practise, since the first
read probably succeeds anyway.

we rely on uint16_t wrapping, but some platforms may
behave weirdly.
cast as uint32_t and then cast back, on return, with
an explicit mask beforehand.

explicitly declare the directory path for the given
file (nvmutil), otherwise it's implementation-defined;
on some systems, /bin/nvmutil means a directory named
nvmutil could then contain nvmutil.

I also needed: #define _POSIX_C_SOURCE 200809L
I use -pedantic with -Wall -Wextra -Werror, which
forces very strict error handling and ISO C; this
means pread and pwrite aren't available.
The define fixes this.
