We know that the kernel implements a slow fallback code path for
BLKZEROOUT, so if BDRV_REQ_NO_FALLBACK is given, we shouldn't call it.
The other operations we call in the context of .bdrv_co_pwrite_zeroes
should usually be quick, so no modification should be needed for them.
If we ever notice that there are additional problematic cases, we can
still make these conditional as well.

This moves the code to resize an image file to the thread pool to avoid
blocking.
Creating large images with preallocation with blockdev-create is now
actually a background job instead of blocking the monitor (and most
other things) until the preallocation has completed.

laio_init() can fail for a couple of reasons, which will lead to a NULL
pointer dereference in laio_attach_aio_context().
To solve this, add a aio_setup_linux_aio() function which is called
early in raw_open_common. If this fails, propagate the error up. The
signature of aio_get_linux_aio() was not modified, because it seems
preferable to return the actual errno from the possible failing
initialization calls.
Additionally, when the AioContext changes, we need to associate a
LinuxAioState with the new AioContext. Use the bdrv_attach_aio_context
callback and call the new aio_setup_linux_aio(), which will allocate a
new AioContext if needed, and return errors on failures. If it fails for
any reason, fallback to threaded AIO with an error message, as the
device is already in-use by the guest.
Add an assert that aio_get_linux_aio() cannot return NULL.

We are gradually moving away from sector-based interfaces, towards
byte-based. Make the change for the last few sector-based callbacks
in the file-win32 driver.
Note that the driver was already using byte-based calls for
performing actual I/O, so this just gets rid of a round trip
of scaling; however, as I don't know if Windows is tolerant of
non-sector AIO operations, I went with the conservative approach
of modifying .bdrv_refresh_limits to override the block layer
defaults back to the pre-patch value of 512.

This has better performance because it executes fewer system calls
and does not use a bottom half per disk.
Originally proposed by Ming Lei.
[Changed #include "raw-aio.h" to "block/raw-aio.h" in win32-aio.c to fix
build error as reported by Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org>.
