AioContext: export and use aio_dispatch

So far, aio_poll's scheme was dispatch/poll/dispatch, where
the first dispatch phase was used only in the GSource case in
order to avoid a blocking poll.  Earlier patches changed it to
dispatch/prepare/poll/dispatch, where prepare is aio_compute_timeout.

By making aio_dispatch public, we can remove the first dispatch
phase altogether, so that both aio_poll and the GSource use the same
prepare/poll/dispatch scheme.

This patch breaks the invariant that aio_poll(..., true) will not block
the first time it returns false.  This used to be fundamental for
qemu_aio_flush's implementation as "while (qemu_aio_wait()) {}" but
no code in QEMU relies on this invariant anymore.  The return value
of aio_poll() is now comparable with that of g_main_context_iteration.
