The main loop has two AioContexts: qemu_aio_context and iohandler_ctx.
The main loop runs them both, but nested aio_poll() calls on
qemu_aio_context exclude iohandler_ctx.
Which one should qemu_get_current_aio_context() return when called from
the main loop? Document that it's always qemu_aio_context.
This has subtle effects on functions that use
qemu_get_current_aio_context(). For example, aio_co_reschedule_self()
does not work when moving from iohandler_ctx to qemu_aio_context because
qemu_get_current_aio_context() does not differentiate these two
AioContexts.
Document this in order to reduce the chance of future bugs.
