CoQueue uses a BH to awake coroutines that were made ready to run again
using qemu_co_queue_next() or qemu_co_queue_restart_all(). The BH
currently runs in the iothread AioContext and would break coroutines
that run in a different AioContext.
This is a slightly tricky problem because the lifetime of the BH exceeds
that of the CoQueue. This means coroutines can be awoken after CoQueue
itself has been freed. Also, there is no qemu_co_queue_destroy()
function which we could use to handle freeing resources.
Introducing qemu_co_queue_destroy() has a ripple effect of requiring us
to also add qemu_co_mutex_destroy() and qemu_co_rwlock_destroy(), as
well as updating all callers. Avoid doing that.
We also cannot switch from BH to GIdle function because aio_poll() does
not dispatch GIdle functions. (GIdle functions make memory management
slightly easier because they free themselves.)
Finally, I don't want to move unlock_queue and unlock_bh into
AioContext. That would break encapsulation - AioContext isn't supposed
to know about CoQueue.
This patch implements a different solution: each qemu_co_queue_next() or
qemu_co_queue_restart_all() call creates a new BH and list of coroutines
to wake up. Callers tend to invoke qemu_co_queue_next() and
qemu_co_queue_restart_all() occasionally after blocking I/O, so creating
a new BH for each call shouldn't be massively inefficient.
Note that this patch does not add an interface for specifying the
AioContext. That is left to future patches which will convert CoQueue,
CoMutex, and CoRwlock to expose AioContext.

Now that each AioContext has a ThreadPool and the main loop AioContext
can be fetched with bdrv_get_aio_context(), we can eliminate the concept
of a global thread pool from thread-pool.c.
The submit functions must take a ThreadPool* argument.
block/raw-posix.c and block/raw-win32.c use
aio_get_thread_pool(bdrv_get_aio_context(bs)) to fetch the main loop's
ThreadPool.
tests/test-thread-pool.c must be updated to reflect the new
thread_pool_submit() function prototypes.

For now bdrv_get_aio_context() is just a stub that calls

main loop AioContext.
Add the stub now so that the block layer can begin accessing its

This patch adds a ThreadPool to AioContext. It's possible that some
AioContext instances will never use the ThreadPool, so defer creation
until aio_get_thread_pool().
The reason why AioContext should have the ThreadPool is because the
ThreadPool is bound to a AioContext instance where the work item's
callback function is invoked. It doesn't make sense to keep the
ThreadPool pointer anywhere other than AioContext. For example,
block/raw-posix.c can get its AioContext's ThreadPool and submit work.
Special note about headers: I used struct ThreadPool in aio.h because
there is a circular dependency if aio.h includes thread-pool.h.

ThreadPool is tied to an AioContext through its event notifier, which
dictates in which AioContext the work item's callback function will be
invoked.
In order to support multiple AioContexts we need to support multiple
ThreadPool instances.
This patch adds the new/free functions. The free function deserves
special attention because it quiesces remaining worker threads. This
requires a new condition variable and a "stopping" flag to let workers
know they should terminate once idle.
We never needed to do this before since the global threadpool was not
explicitly destroyed until process termination.
Also stash the AioContext pointer in ThreadPool so that we can call
aio_set_event_notifier() in thread_pool_free(). We didn't need to hold
onto AioContext previously since there was no free function.

It is better to present homogeneous hardware independent of the storage
technology that is chosen on the host, hence we make discard a host
parameter; the user can choose whether to pass it down to the image
format and protocol, or to ignore it.
Using DISCARD with filesystems can cause very severe fragmentation, so it
is left default-off for now. This can change later when we implement the
"anchor" operation for efficient management of preallocated files.
There is still one choice to make: whether DISCARD has an effect on the
dirty bitmap or not. I chose yes, though there is a disadvantage: if
the guest is buggy and issues discards for data that is in use, there
will be no way to migrate storage for that guest without downgrading
the machine type to an older one.

In case of a non-ide adapter, heads is set to 255 instead of the 16.

aio_poll() must return true if any work is still pending, even if it
didn't make progress, so that bdrv_drain_all() doesn't stop waiting too
early. The possibility of stopping early occasionally lead to a failed
assertion in bdrv_drain_all(), when some in-flight request was missed
and the function didn't really drain all requests.
In order to make that change, the return value as specified in the
function comment must change for blocking = false; fortunately, the
return value of blocking = false callers is only used in test cases, so
this change shouldn't cause any trouble.
