Right now heartbeats are updated in the database at each iteration
(each activity for multi-activity daemons). This forces us to use
a big "older_than" value to avoid the race condition when a big bulk
size and slow access to transfertool makes hearbeats expire.
At the same time, this puts strain on database with un-needed heartbeat
updates when the daemons are lightly loaded.
Rework this behavior to perform hearbeat_handler.live() more frequently
(each submission, for example), but modify live() to only perform a
database update if enough time has passed from last update.
