Code in manager can now just call queue_metadata_update with a
(freeable) buf holding the update, and it will get passed to the
monitor and written out.
"sync_complete" just tracks the current resync/recover/check/whatever pass.
"resync_start" tracks which parts of the array are known to be in-sync
(modulo active writes). So it is what we need to use to update the metadata.
Also we cannot call it when the array has stopped, as the value is no longer
available then. We must call it when the resync completes.
Possibly also call it preiodically if the array is quiescent.

Each md_message encapsulates a single command. A command includes an 'action'
member which describes what if any data comes after the action. Communication
with the monitor involves updating the active_cmd pointer and then writing to
mgr_pipe. Pass/fail status is returned via mon_pipe.

If they are later reassembled they will be replaced and deallocated
via replace_array.

mdadm handles setting resync_start, monitor uses this value to determine
whether to set the 'active' or 'readauto' state.
