Add -forcedecode

Force decode of encrypted files even if the integrity check fails, instead of
failing with an IO error. Warning messages are still printed to syslog if corrupted
files are encountered.
It can be useful to recover files from disks with bad sectors or other corrupted
media.

Closes https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/pull/102 .
