Now that the on-disk activity-log ring buffer size is adjustable,
the maximum active set can become larger, and is now limited by
the use of 16bit "labels".
This increases the maximum working set from 6433 to 65534 extents,
each of which covers an area of 4MiB.
Which means that if you use the maximum, you'd have to resync
more than 250 GiB after an unclean Primary shutdown.
With capable backend storage and replication links,
this is entirely feasible.

By disabling al-updates one might increase performace. The price for
that is that in case a crashed primary (that had al-updates disabled)
is reintegraded, it will receive a full-resync instead of a bitmap
based resync.

* Enabled the resync controller, with a fill target of 50Kib. That gives
reasonable resync speeds without tuning. A much better default than
the 250KiB/s fixed.
* Enable bitmap compression. It is save to use, and most people have
more CPU power than network bandwidth.
* ko-count of 7: Abort a connection if the peer fails to process a
write request within 42 seconds.
* al-extents of 1237: ~5 GiB seems to be a much more sane default
these days.

Allow up to 300 centi-seconds to be configured for the "ping timeout".
There may be setups where heavy congestion, huge buffers, and asymmetric
bandwidth limitations may need a "huge" ping-timeout as work-around
for "spurious connection loss" problems.

The 8 byte header finally becomes too small. With the protocol 100 header we
have 16 bit for the volume number, proper 32 bit for the data length, and
32 bit for further extensions in the future.
Previous versions of drbd are using version 80 headers for all packets
short enough for protocol 80. They support both header versions in
worker context, but only version 80 headers in asynchronous context.
For backwards compatibility, continue to use version 80 headers for
short packets before protocol version 100.
From protocol version 100 on, use the same header version for all
packets.

This commit breaks the API again.
Move per-volume former syncer options into disk_conf.
Move per-connection former syncer options into net_conf.
Renamed the remainign sync_conf to res_opts
Syncer settings have been changeable at runtime, so we need to prepare
for these settings to be runtime-changeable in their new home as well.
Introduce new configuration operations, and share the netlink attribute
between "attach" (create new disk) and "disk-opts" (change options).
Same for "connect" and "net-opts".
Some fields cannot be changed at runtime, however.
Introduce a new flag GENLA_F_INVARIANT to be able to trigger on that in
the generated validation and assignment functions.

We now track the data rate of locally submitted resync related requests,
and can thus detect non-resync activity on the lower level device.
If the current sync rate is above c-min-rate, and the lower level device
appears to be busy, we throttle the resyncer.
