Uh, I kinda forgot about this, I've made the tests stop the node now.

Right now we have a few tests that explicitly check that
pg_verify_checksums fail on broken data ("foo" in the file).  Those
would then just get skipped AFAICT, which I think is the worse behaviour
, but if everybody thinks that should be the way to go, we can
drop/adjust those tests and make pg_verify_checksums skip them.

Thoughts?

In the meanwhile, v9 is attached with the above change and rebased
(without changes) to master.
