configurable STATUS interval

The frequency of STATUS MCMPs is the backgroundProcessorDelay of the engine of the web system and there is no way to change it currently.

While there is not a way to change that backgroundProcessorDelay, can we add a configurable delay within mod_cluster instead? Maybe something like this wrapping the web engine background processor's calls into mod_cluster:

if (currentTime > lastStatus + delay) {
   // handle STATUS
   lastStatus = currentTime
} else
   // do nothing

Thus the frequency of the background processor calls isn't changed as expected, but the frequency with which it can actually result in a STATUS MCMP through mod_cluster is.
