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.
