Bug #206773 - Add a new PORTAGE_IONICE_COMMAND variable that emerge uses
to adjust ionice priority, similar to PORTAGE_NICENESS but used more like FETCHCOMMAND since so that portage doesn't have to know anything about ionice options. The command should include a \${PID} place-holder to be substituted with an integer pid. svn path=/main/trunk/; revision=11182

The value of this variable will be added to the current nice level that
emerge is running at. In other words, this will not set the nice level,
