Unified allocation throttling (#17020)

Existing allocation throttling had a goal to improve write speed
by allocating more data to vdevs that are able to write it faster.
But in the process it completely broken the original mechanism,
designed to balance vdev space usage.  With severe vdev space use
imbalance it is possible that some with higher use start growing
fragmentation sooner than others and after getting full will stop
any writes at all.  Also after vdev addition it might take a very
long time for pool to restore the balance, since the new vdev does
not have any real preference, unless the old one is already much
slower due to fragmentation.  Also the old throttling was request-
based, which was unpredictable with block sizes varying from 512B
to 16MB, neither it made much sense in case of I/O aggregation,
when its 32-100 requests could be aggregated into few, leaving
device underutilized, submitting fewer and/or shorter requests,
or in opposite try to queue up to 1.6GB of writes per device.

This change presents a completely new throttling algorithm. Unlike
the request-based old one, this one measures allocation queue in
bytes.  It makes possible to integrate with the reworked allocation
quota (aliquot) mechanism, which is also byte-based.  Unlike the
original code, balancing the vdevs amounts of free space, this one
balances their free/used space fractions.  It should result in a
lower and more uniform fragmentation in a long run.

This algorithm still allows to improve write speed by allocating
more data to faster vdevs, but does it in more controllable way.
On top of space-based allocation quota, it also calculates minimum
queue depth that vdev is allowed to maintain, and respectively the
amount of extra allocations it can receive if it appear faster.
That amount is based on vdev's capacity and space usage, but also
applied only when the pool is busy.  This way the code can choose
between faster writes when needed and better vdev balance when not,
with the choice gradually reducing together with the free space.

This change also makes allocation queues per-class, allowing them
to throttle independently and in parallel.  Allocations that are
bounced between classes due to allocation errors will be able to
properly throttle in the new class.  Allocations that should not
be throttled (ZIL, gang, copies) are not, but may still follow
the rotor and allocation quota mechanism of the class without
disrupting it.
