History store verification checks the relationships between the history store and tables when the verifying of the metadata via the verify_metadata=true setting to wiredtiger_open. However, that setting does not verify the table itself. There is no path to do that currently. This ticket should add that call.

It is not that easy to do because the ordering of recovery, creating or opening the history store table and verify, which needs exclusive access and a closed table return EBUSY in many places. Once recovery has run, the history store ends up with references.
