In lfsr_mdir_compact__, we rely on shrub_.block != mdir.block to avoid
compacting shrubs multiple times. This works for the most part because
we set shrub_.block = shrub.block (the old mdir block) at the beginning
of lfsr_mdir_commit. We don't actually reset shrub_.block on a bad prog,
but in theory that was ok because we never try to compact into the same
block twice.
But this falls apart if we overrecycle the mdir!
With overrecycling, if we encounter a bad prog during a compaction and
there are no more blocks to relocate to, we try one last time to compact
into the same block (this logic is mainly for recycle overflows, where
it makes a bit more sense).
Of course, compacting into the same block breaks the above shrub_.block
!= mdir.block invariant, which causes the shrub compaction to be
skipped, uses the old shrub_.trunk (which now points to garbage), and
breaks everything.
Fortunately the solution is relatively simple: Just discard any staged
shrubs that have been committed when we relocate/overrecycle.

While fixing this I went ahead and renamed overcompaction ->
overrecycling. To me, overcompaction implies something _very_ different,
and I think this better describes the relationship between overrecycling
and block_recycles.
Also added test_ck_ckprogs_overrecycling to nail this down and prevent a
regression in the future. This bug _was_ caught by
test_ck_spam_fwrite_fuzz, but only after unrelated fs changes.
Adds a bit of code, but a smaller + dysfunctional filesystem is not very
useful:
