jobs: add exit shim
All jobs do the same thing when they leave their running loop:
- Store the return code in a structure
- wait to receive this structure in the main thread
- signal job completion via job_completed
Few jobs do anything beyond exactly this. Consolidate this exit
logic for a net reduction in SLOC.
More seriously, when we utilize job_defer_to_main_loop_bh to call
a function that calls job_completed, job_finalize_single will run
in a context where it has recursively taken the aio_context lock,
which can cause hangs if it puts down a reference that causes a flush.
You can observe this in practice by looking at mirror_exit's careful
placement of job_completed and bdrv_unref calls.
If we centralize job exiting, we can signal job completion from outside
of the aio_context, which should allow for job cleanup code to run with
only one lock, which makes cleanup callbacks less tricky to write.
