accel: introduce accelerator blocker API

This API allows the accelerators to prevent vcpus from issuing
new ioctls while execting a critical section marked with the
accel_ioctl_inhibit_begin/end functions.

Note that all functions submitting ioctls must mark where the
ioctl is being called with accel_{cpu_}ioctl_begin/end().

This API requires the caller to always hold the BQL.
API documentation is in sysemu/accel-blocker.h

Internally, it uses a QemuLockCnt together with a per-CPU QemuLockCnt
(to minimize cache line bouncing) to keep avoid that new ioctls
run when the critical section starts, and a QemuEvent to wait
that all running ioctls finish.
