Add DRBD dynamic resync speed params to design doc 


* Expand the Name column of the table (for c-delay-target)
* Add the c-* DRBDparameters to the table containing the disk parameters
* Add the unit of measurement in square brackets, when needed
* Document the supported DRBD version, warn about the DRBD version
  needed for barriers and for the dynamic resync speed parameters.
* Add links to some documentation about the dynamic resync speed
  parameters

At JSON level, since the object key has to be a string, the keys can be
encoded via a separator (e.g. slash), or by having two dict levels.

Note that the DRBD parameters might change once Ganeti supports DRBD 8.4, in
which the :command:`drbdsetup` syntax has changed significantly.
Moreover, new parameters for the dynamic synchronization algorithm will
be added for DRBD versions >= 8.3.9.
When needed, the unit of measurement is expressed inside square
brackets.

Currently Ganeti supports only DRBD 8.0.x, 8.2.x, 8.3.x. It will refuse
to work with DRBD 8.4 since the :command:`drbdsetup` syntax has changed
significantly.
The barriers-related parameters have been introduced in different DRBD
versions; please make sure that your version supports all the barrier
parameters that you pass to Ganeti. Any version later than 8.3.0
implements all of them.
The minimum DRBD version for using the dynamic resync speed controller
is 8.3.9, since previous versions implement different parameters.
A more detailed discussion of the dynamic resync speed controller
parameters is outside the scope of the present document. Please refer to
the ``drbdsetup`` man page
(`8.3 <http://www.drbd.org/users-guide-8.3/re-drbdsetup.html>`_ and
`8.4 <http://www.drbd.org/users-guide/re-drbdsetup.html>`_). An
interesting discussion about them can also be found in a
`drbd-user mailing list post
<http://lists.linbit.com/pipermail/drbd-user/2011-August/016739.html>`_.
All the above parameters are at cluster and node group level; as in
other parts of the code, the intention is that all nodes in a node group
