For CONFIG_LINUX, implement the new zero copy flag and the optional callback
io_flush on QIOChannelSocket, but enables it only when MSG_ZEROCOPY
feature is available in the host kernel, which is checked on
qio_channel_socket_connect_sync()
qio_channel_socket_flush() was implemented by counting how many times
sendmsg(...,MSG_ZEROCOPY) was successfully called, and then reading the
socket's error queue, in order to find how many of them finished sending.
Flush will loop until those counters are the same, or until some error occurs.
Notes on using writev() with QIO_CHANNEL_WRITE_FLAG_ZERO_COPY:
1: Buffer
- As MSG_ZEROCOPY tells the kernel to use the same user buffer to avoid copying,
some caution is necessary to avoid overwriting any buffer before it's sent.
If something like this happen, a newer version of the buffer may be sent instead.
- If this is a problem, it's recommended to call qio_channel_flush() before freeing
or re-using the buffer.
2: Locked memory
- When using MSG_ZERCOCOPY, the buffer memory will be locked after queued, and
unlocked after it's sent.
- Depending on the size of each buffer, and how often it's sent, it may require
a larger amount of locked memory than usually available to non-root user.
- If the required amount of locked memory is not available, writev_zero_copy
will return an error, which can abort an operation like migration,
- Because of this, when an user code wants to add zero copy as a feature, it
requires a mechanism to disable it, so it can still be accessible to less
privileged users.

Some typedefs and macros are defined after the type check macros.
This makes it difficult to automatically replace their
definitions with OBJECT_DECLARE_TYPE.
Patch generated using:
$ ./scripts/codeconverter/converter.py -i \
--pattern=QOMStructTypedefSplit $(git grep -l '' -- '*.[ch]')
which will split "typdef struct { ... } TypedefName"
declarations.
Followed by:
$ ./scripts/codeconverter/converter.py -i --pattern=MoveSymbols \
$(git grep -l '' -- '*.[ch]')
which will:
- move the typedefs and #defines above the type check macros
- add missing #include "qom/object.h" lines if necessary

SocketAddressLegacy is a simple union, and simple unions are awkward:
they have their variant members wrapped in a "data" object on the
wire, and require additional indirections in C. SocketAddress is the
equivalent flat union. Convert all users of SocketAddressLegacy to
SocketAddress, except for existing external interfaces.

The next commit will rename SocketAddressFlat to SocketAddress, and
the commit after that will replace most uses of SocketAddressLegacy by
SocketAddress, replacing most of this commit's renames right back.
Note that checkpatch emits a few "line over 80 characters" warnings.
The long lines are all temporary; the SocketAddressLegacy replacement
will shorten them again.

In the docs for qio_channel_socket_connect_async,
qio_channel_socket_listen_async and
qio_channel_socket_dgram_async, mention that the
SocketAddress parameters are copied, so can be freed
immediately.

Implement a QIOChannel subclass that supports sockets I/O.
The implementation is able to manage a single socket file
descriptor, whether a TCP/UNIX listener, TCP/UNIX connection,
or a UDP datagram. It provides APIs which can listen and
connect either asynchronously or synchronously. Since there
is no asynchronous DNS lookup API available, it uses the
QIOTask helper for spawning a background thread to ensure
non-blocking operation.
