This adds an "always" policy for bitmap synchronization. Regardless of if the job succeeds or fails, the bitmap is *always* synchronized. This means that for backups that fail part-way through, the bitmap retains a record of which sectors need to be copied out to accomplish a new backup using the old, partial result.
In effect, this allows us to "resume" a failed backup; however the new backup will be from the new point in time, so it isn't a "resume" as much as it is an "incremental retry." This can be useful in the case of extremely large backups that fail considerably through the operation and we'd like to not waste the work that was already performed.
