Ideally we could set 'slave_sync_count' and 'slave_commit_continue_mode'
on the master, and allow the sync/async mode to be set on each slave,
e.g. if slave_sync_count = 2 and slave_commit_continue_mode = #2, then
two slaves with sync mode of #2 or stricter have to complete before the
master can continue.

Naming the slaves on the master seems very confusing because I am
unclear how we would identify named slaves, and the names have to match,
etc.  

Also, what would be cool would be if you could run a query on the master
to view the SR commit mode of each slave.
