aio_poll() must return true if any work is still pending, even if it
didn't make progress, so that bdrv_drain_all() doesn't stop waiting too
early. The possibility of stopping early occasionally lead to a failed
assertion in bdrv_drain_all(), when some in-flight request was missed
and the function didn't really drain all requests.
In order to make that change, the return value as specified in the
function comment must change for blocking = false; fortunately, the
return value of blocking = false callers is only used in test cases, so
this change shouldn't cause any trouble.

The repeated calls to WaitForMultipleObjects may cause a livelock in aio_poll,
where no progress is made on bottom halves. This patch matches the behavior
of the POSIX code.

In the current code, this is done by qemu_set_fd_handler2, which is
called by qemu_aio_set_fd_handler. We need to keep the same behavior
even after removing the call to qemu_set_fd_handler2.

The Win32 implementation will only accept EventNotifiers, thus a few
drivers are disabled under Windows. EventNotifiers are a good match
for the GSource implementation, too, because the Win32 port of glib
allows to place their HANDLEs in a GPollFD.
