This is the linux-aio version of commits 22afa7b5 (raw-posix, synchronous) and
ba1d1afd (posix-aio-compat). Reads now produce zeros after the end of file
instead of failing or resulting in short reads, making linux-aio compatible
with the behaviour of synchronous raw-posix requests and posix-aio-compat.
The problem can be reproduced like this:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/test.raw bs=1 count=1234
./qemu-io -k -n -g -c 'read -p 1024 512' /tmp/test.raw
Previously, the result of this was 'read failed: Invalid argument', now the
read completes successfully.

The error handling order was in the wrong order, so that either the ACB would
be leaked or the counter would be decremented when it shouldn't.

Add some notes about Linux AIO explaining why we don't use AIO in
some situations.

The purpose of AsyncContexts was to protect qcow and qcow2 against reentrancy
during an emulated bdrv_read/write (which includes a qemu_aio_wait() call and
can run AIO callbacks of different requests if it weren't for AsyncContexts).
Now both qcow and qcow2 are protected by CoMutexes and AsyncContexts can be
removed.

Also for Linux AIO, don't call callbacks that don't belong to the active
AsyncContext.

We'll leave some AIO completions unhandled when we can't call the callback.
qemu_aio_process_queue() is used later to run any callbacks that are left and
can be run then.

Now that do have a nicer interface to work against we can add Linux native
AIO support. It's an extremly thing layer just setting up an iocb for
the io_submit system call in the submission path, and registering an
eventfd with the qemu poll handler to do complete the iocbs directly
from there.
This started out based on Anthony's earlier AIO patch, but after
estimated 42,000 rewrites and just as many build system changes
there's not much left of it.
To enable native kernel aio use the aio=native sub-command on the
drive command line. I have also added an option to qemu-io to
test the aio support without needing a guest.
