This uses the lock-free mutex described in the paper '"Blocking without
Locking", or LFTHREADS: A lock-free thread library' by Gidenstam and
Papatriantafilou. The same technique is used in OSv, and in fact
the code is essentially a conversion to C of OSv's code.
[Added missing coroutine_fn in tests/test-aio-multithread.c.

As a small step towards the introduction of multiqueue, we want
coroutines to remain on the same AioContext that started them,
unless they are moved explicitly with e.g. aio_co_schedule. This patch
avoids that coroutines switch AioContext when they use a CoMutex.
For now it does not make much of a difference, because the CoMutex
is not thread-safe and the AioContext itself is used to protect the
CoMutex from concurrent access. However, this is going to change.

aio_co_wake provides the infrastructure to start a coroutine on a "home"
AioContext. It will be used by CoMutex and CoQueue, so that coroutines
don't jump from one context to another when they go to sleep on a
mutex or waitqueue. However, it can also be used as a more efficient
alternative to one-shot bottom halves, and saves the effort of tracking
which AioContext a coroutine is running on.
aio_co_schedule is the part of aio_co_wake that starts a coroutine
on a remove AioContext, but it is also useful to implement e.g.
bdrv_set_aio_context callbacks.
The implementation of aio_co_schedule is based on a lock-free
multiple-producer, single-consumer queue. The multiple producers use
cmpxchg to add to a LIFO stack. The consumer (a per-AioContext bottom
half) grabs all items added so far, inverts the list to make it FIFO,
and goes through it one item at a time until it's empty. The data
structure was inspired by OSv, which uses it in the very code we'll
"port" to QEMU for the thread-safe CoMutex.
Most of the new code is really tests.

AioContext is fairly self contained, the only dependency is QEMUTimer but
that in turn doesn't need anything else. So move them out of block-obj-y
to avoid introducing a dependency from io/ to block-obj-y.
main-loop and its dependency iohandler also need to be moved, because
later in this series io/ will call iohandler_get_aio_context.
[Changed copyright "the QEMU team" to "other QEMU contributors" as
suggested by Daniel Berrange and agreed by Paolo.

This is complex, but I think it is reasonably documented in the source.
