[PATCH 00/18] Implement write throttling for vinyl

[Vladimir Davydov]

If vinyl doesn't keep up with dumps, transactions can consume all
available memory and stall until the last dump is complete, which may
take quite a while (seconds, even minutes sometimes). To avoid
unpredictably long stalls, this patch set introduces transaction
throttling. Now, once a dump is started, vinyl will limit the rate at
which transactions can write to the database so that they won't hit the
limit before the dump is complete.

  vinyl: do not wake up fibers waiting for quota if quota is unavailable
  vinyl: tune dump bandwidth histogram buckets
  vinyl: rename vy_quota::dump_bw to dump_bw_hist
  vinyl: cache dump bandwidth for timer invocation
  vinyl: do not add initial guess to dump bandwidth histogram
  vinyl: use snap_io_rate_limit for initial dump bandwidth estimate
  histogram: add function for computing lower bound percentile estimate
  vinyl: use lower bound percentile estimate for dump bandwidth
  vinyl: do not try to trigger dump if it is already in progress
  vinyl: improve dump start/stop logging
  vinyl: confine quota watermark within sane value range
