We periodically record synchronization progress in the metadata
block of the disk being synchronized; this allows an interrupted
synchronization to be resumed. However, the frequency of these
updates heavily pessimized synchronization time on some media. This
change modifies gmirror to update metadata based on a time period,
and adds a sysctl to control that period. The default value results
in a much lower update frequency and increases the completion time
for an interrupted rebuild only marginally.
