Looks great! Love the clear motivating comments.
The `DurabilityProvider` trait was introduced to enable the `HostController` to procure an alternative `Durability` impl from an external source. It is also useful to be able to instantiate a `SnapshotWorker` externally, in order to subscribe to snapshot creation events without access to the `RelationalDB` instance it is operating on. At a later stage, we may also use it to control the snapshot frequency externally. This patch thus reframes the trait as `PersistenceProvider`, whose job is to provide persistence-related services. Also separates snapshot creation and compression of older snapshots, and adds instrumentation to gather timing information for both.

Testing
Not a functional change, existing tests should cover that.
