We are going to directly use one async block-copy operation for backup
job, so we need rate limiter.
We want to maintain current backup behavior: only background copying is
limited and copy-before-write operations only participate in limit
calculation. Therefore we need one rate limiter for block-copy state
and boolean flag for block-copy call state for actual limitation.
Note, that we can't just calculate each chunk in limiter after
successful copying: it will not save us from starting a lot of async
sub-requests which will exceed limit too much. Instead let's use the
following scheme on sub-request creation:
1. If at the moment limit is not exceeded, create the request and
account it immediately.
2. If at the moment limit is already exceeded, drop create sub-request
and handle limit instead (by sleep).
With this approach we'll never exceed the limit more than by one
sub-request (which pretty much matches current backup behavior).
Note also, that if there is in-flight block-copy async call,
block_copy_kick() should be used after set-speed to apply new setup
faster. For that block_copy_kick() published in this patch.
