add post_removal_sleep_sec config item

- if set to value > 0 and also hdd_space is set to > 0, then we
  sleep/pause that amount of seconds after each & every torrent removal.

  this is to try and mitigate situation where one ARP invocation causes
  removal of multiple torrents, but on some seedboxes it takes some
  seconds for the HDD space to be reported as freed up. this means the
  same invocation would end up removing more torrents than _really_
  allowed by the set hdd_space config/rule.
