Hello, ceph operators...

Several times in the past we've had to do some ondisk format conversion 
during upgrade which mean that the first time the ceph-osd daemon started 
after upgrade it had to spend a few minutes fixing up it's ondisk files.  
We haven't had to recently, though, and generally try to avoid such 
things.

However, there's a change we'd like to make in FileStore for luminous (*) 
and it would save us a lot of time and complexity if it was a one-shot 
update during the upgrade.  I would probably take in the neighborhood of 
1-5 minutes for a 4-6TB HDD.  That means that when restarting the daemon 
during the upgrade the OSD would stay down for that period (vs the usual 
<1 restart time).

Does this concern anyone?  It probably means the upgrades will take longer 
if you're going host by host since the time per host will go up.

* eliminate 'snapdir' objects, replacing them with a head object + 
whiteout.
