Using a centrally generated compaction-time, generated on the repair
master and propagated to all repair followers. For repair it is
imperative that all participants use the exact same compaction time,
otherwise there can be artificial differences between participants,
generating unnecessary repair activity.
If a repair follower doesn't get a compaction-time from the repair
master, it uses a locally generated one. This is no worse than the
previous state of each node being on some undefined state of compaction.
