mirror: allow customizing the granularity
The desired granularity may be very different depending on the kind of
operation (e.g. continuous replication vs. collapse-to-raw) and whether
the VM is expected to perform lots of I/O while mirroring is in progress.
Allow the user to customize it, while providing a sane default so that
in general there will be no extra allocated space in the target compared
to the source.
