Add ratelimiting to more background daemons

There is also nice and ionice features or rather the
'nice_priority, ionice_priority and ionice_class. For completion of options
of how much they hog resources.. tho I guess in this case it's how well
they share.

    Add databases_per_second to db daemons

    Most daemons have a "go as fast as you can then sleep for 30 seconds"
    strategy towards resource utilization; the object-updater and
    object-auditor however have some "X_per_second" options that allow
    operators much better control over how they spend their I/O budget.

    This change extends that pattern into the account-replicator,
    container-replicator, and container-sharder which have been known to peg
    CPUs when they're not IO limited.

    Add tasks_per_second option to expirer

    This allows operators to throttle expirers as needed.
