add SVC log message when volume mirror copies run out-of-sync

Please add an informational log message to SVC when volume copies 0 and 1 get out-of-sync. Despite the two policies that can be set with the 'mirrorwritepriority' option it would be very helpful to notice problems in the back-end when volume copies either start to drift apart or destaging is slowing down front-end I/Os.
Make this both, a syslog message and an SNMP'able trap.

    This is related to another RFE: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=13422

    The event should also be classified as an alert and get forwarded via SNMP/e-Mail/... whatever the customer has setup

    This is a very usefull RFE. In the current code base you always have to script something to get the current status of VDisk Copies.
