largefiles: adapt verify to batched remote statlfile (issue3780)

9e1616307c4c introduced batching of statlfile, but not all codepaths got
converted.

'hg verify' with a remotestore could thus crash with
  TypeError: 'builtin_function_or_method' object is not iterable

Also, the 'hash' variable was used without assigning to it. Don't use variable
names that collide with Python built-in functions. Instead we use 'expecthash'
as in localstore.

The tests for this issue covers an untested area. The tests happens to also
reveal incorrect attempts at getting non-existing largefiles, bad server side
handling of that, and corruption issues - all to be fixed later.

Mercurial's documentation is kept in reStructuredText format, which is
a simple plain text format that's easy to read and edit:

It's also convertible to a variety of other formats including standard
UNIX man page format and HTML. You'll need to install Docutils:

Use the Makefile in this directory to generate the man and HTML pages.
