It might be nicer to express this as "up to n MB of WAL per second", but
otherwise seems reasonable, and it's easy enough to convert WAL MB/s
into a delay by hand.
Initial tests of this show that it does limit index creation rates as
expected, while continuing to allow WAL generation at normal rates for
other concurrent work.
