A short delay with a warning before starting a full balance should
improve usability. We have been getting reports from people who run full
balance after following some random advice and then get surprised by the
performance impact.
The countdown is done even when run from scripts, but as the whole
balance takes significanly more time, this shouldn't be an issue.

Add the overlapping usage and [usage_min, usage_max] members to the
balance args. The min/max values are interpreted iff the corresponding
flag BTRFS_BALANCE_ARGS_USAGE_RANGE is set.
The minimum boundary is inclusive, maximum is exclusive:
* usage_min <= chunk_usage < usage_max

Add new balance filter 'stripes=<range>' to process only chunks that are
spread accross given number of chunks.
The range minimum and maximum are inclusive.

[ reworked a bit to use the range helpers, dropped the single value
for stripes ]

Add the overlapping limit and [limit_min, limit_max] members to the
balance args. The min/max values are interpreted iff the corresponding
flag BTRFS_BALANCE_ARGS_LIMIT_RANGE is set.
The minimum and maximum are inclusive.
Note that the values are only 32bit, but this should be enough for the
foreseeable future.

A few minor benefits:
* editors set highliting according to the extensions
* web access to the git repository (github) renders the .asciidoc
files:
* we can link to them from the wiki
* the files are editable via browser and such editations can be
submitted for merge easily
