Implement periodic on-line DRBD verification

While working on #41176 (closed) we started using DRBD on-line verification (drbdsetup verify) and discovered that many (all?) our DRBD volumes were out of sync. According to other Ganeti users, this is not a normal situation.

I configured the verify-alg setting in both clusters using gnt-cluster modify --disk-parameters="drbd:net-custom=--verify-alg crc32c"

We should configure an automatic verification to run periodically to ensure we detect if this continues to occur. The DRBD documentation suggests once monthly.

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
