Zookeeper: configure 'dataLogDir' in separate disk

Having a dedicated log device has a large impact on throughput and stable latencies. It is highly recommened to dedicate a log device and set dataLogDir to point to a directory on that device, and then make sure to point dataDir to a directory not residing on that device.

etcd would get separate wal, data dir as well.

TBD: Consul?

This makes collecting disk metrics much more complicated, since data from separate disks need to be aggregated for comparison. This might make sense if we only test Zookeeper.

It would be great if someone familiar with ZK can help on this.
