---------------------------------------------------------------------
We can actually get pretty accurate with STCS thanks to the bucketing we do
anyway to compute next-task-to-compact.
For LCS we're probably still looking at some pretty rough estimates.

> Pending tasks is essentially useless at letting operators know how far behind
> compaction is. For STCS, because compaction tasks can vary in size by
> several orders of magnitude, so "4 more tasks" is a very wide range. For
> LCS, I think the problem is that we only look at first-order work (how much
> larger is level X than it "should" be?) and not cascading effects,
> particularly in L0 (if we push this into L1, how much does that push into L2
> etc?).
> I propose adding an estimate of bytes-to-compact (and deprecating estimated
> tasks).
