block: Remove bdrv_set_aio_context()
All callers of bdrv_set_aio_context() are eliminated now, they have moved to bdrv_try_set_aio_context() and related safe functions. Remove bdrv_set_aio_context(). With this, we can now know that the .set_aio_ctx callback must be present in bdrv_set_aio_context_ignore() because bdrv_can_set_aio_context() would have returned false previously, so instead of checking the condition, we can assert it.
