The implementation seems to be only about "does this section exist?"
and not "does this section have healthy/uncorrupted data?", which
feels a bit strange for "verify".  Instead of setting ourselves up
to having to add "--has-this-section" and "--has-that-section" every
time a new kind of data is added to the system, how about giving the
verify command an option to list all the sections found in the file,
or a separate "git commit-graph list-sections" subcommand?
