remove verify_src_file
Splitting out this function bothered me. It is conceptially similar to file_pruned, and yet also very specific to exactly the security needs of find_src_files. I liked that it got rid of duplicate code in the latter function. So instead, put a helper sub in that, which I think allows refactoring things more cleanly, and with less boilerplate. As to the needs of gen_autofile, I'm not convinced this needs to handle the same set of problems that verify_src_file did. So I sat down and wrote a custom validator for autofiles, which turned out to seem to just need three things: Make sure the candidate filename is not something that would be pruned; untaint the candidate filename; and make sure that srcdir doesn't already have something with its name. (Plus, of course, all the other checks that were already in gen_autofile.) (In passing, also fixed a bunch of bugs I had introduced in this branch.)
