mirror: support arbitrarily-sized iterations

Yet another optimization is to extend the mirroring iteration to include more
adjacent dirty blocks.  This limits the number of I/O operations and makes
mirroring efficient even with a small granularity.  Most of the infrastructure
is already in place; we only need to put a loop around the computation of
the origin and sector count of the iteration.
