mark recovery points as corrupt if volume/container is irretrievably destroyed or damaged

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

If a volume is destroyed, is audited with discarddata=yes or otherwise cause to or found to be damaged but cannot be repaired, there are potentially corrupt recovery points. In the case of TSM for VE, the ideal behavior would be to mark all potentially corrupt recovery points as dirty (based upon the backup date of data stored in the volume) as well as signal that the next backup of the VM should take a full backup (as if the CBT was incorrect, which it is as it may not reach back to the date of the data in the volume). This behavior should reach any type of recovery point, such as any that may come up with future logical backupset features which create logical recovery points out of physical backups.
