vinyl: implement basic transaction throttling

If the rate at which transactions are ready to write to the database is
greater than the dump bandwidth, memory will get depleted before the
previously scheduled dump is complete and all newer transactions will
have to wait, which may take seconds or even minutes:

  W> waited for 555 bytes of vinyl memory quota for too long: 15.750 sec

This patch set implements basic transaction throttling that is supposed
to help avoid unpredictably long stalls. Now the transaction write rate
is always capped by the observed dump bandwidth, because it doesn't make
sense to consume memory at a greater rate than it can be freed. On top
of that, when a dump begins, we estimate the amount of time it is going
to take and limit the transaction write rate accordingly.

Note, this patch doesn't take into account compaction when setting the
rate limit so compaction threads may still fail to keep up with dumps,
increasing the read amplification. It will be addressed later.
