perf/io-threads: least-rate-limit least priority throttling
The 'least-rate-limit' io-threads translator option enables throttling of least priority operations. This is initially intended as a debug/diagnostic tool for users who might experience overloaded servers via background activity (i.e., self-heal). least-rate-limit defines the maximum number of least priority operations the io-threads translator will dequeue in one second. If the specified rate limit is met, the worker threads sleep for the minimal amount of time before the next least priority operation becomes available (or until a new request arrives). The requests/second metric is generic and relative to a variety of factors involved with a background operation (server, storage, etc.). The most recent measured rate ("cached least rate") is added to the io-threads state dump content (kill -USR1) to serve as a reference point to throttle background activity under particular conditions.
