[PATCH, RFC] xfs_repair: allow filesystems with a single AG

[Christoph Hellwig]

Currently xfs_repair bails out on a filesystem with just a single AG.
But that's a perfectly valid configureation, so we should allow it.

Skip the geomery validation because we simply can't do it if we don't
have a secondary SB, and make sure to take the internal log into account
when guestimating the first inode cluster.

I'll also cook up a testcase for repair on single AG filesystems.
