md: tidy up status_resync to handle large arrays.
 
Two problems in status_resync.
1/ It still used Kilobytes as the basic block unit, while most code
   now uses sectors uniformly.
2/ It doesn't allow for the possibility that max_sectors exceeds
   the range of "unsigned long".

So
 - change "max_blocks" to "max_sectors", and store sector numbers
   in there and in 'resync'
 - Make 'rt' a 'sector_t' so it can temporarily hold the number of
   remaining sectors.
 - use sector_div rather than normal division.
 - change the magic '100' used to preserve precision to '32'.
   + making it a power of 2 makes division easier
   + it doesn't need to be as large as it was chosen when we averaged
     speed over the entire run.  Now we average speed over the last 30
     seconds or so.
