Currently DNS resolution is done automatically as part
of the creation of a QIOChannelSocket object instance.
This works ok for network clients where you just end
up a single network socket, but for servers, the results
of DNS resolution may require creation of multiple
sockets.
Introducing a DNS resolver API allows DNS resolution
to be separated from the socket object creation. This
will make it practical to create multiple QIOChannelSocket
instances for servers.

Depending on what object a file descriptor refers to a different
type of IO channel will be needed - either a QIOChannelFile or
a QIOChannelSocket. Introduce a qio_channel_new_fd() method
which will return the appropriate channel implementation.

Add a QIOChannel subclass that is capable of performing I/O
to/from a memory buffer. This implementation does not attempt
to support concurrent readers & writers. It is designed for
serialized access where by a single thread at a time may write
data, seek and then read data back out.

Add a QIOChannel subclass that is capable of performing I/O
to/from a separate process, via a pair of pipes. The command
can be used for unidirectional or bi-directional I/O.

Add a QIOChannel subclass that can run the websocket protocol over
the top of another QIOChannel instance. This initial implementation
is only capable of acting as a websockets server. There is no support
for acting as a websockets client yet.

Add a QIOChannel subclass that can run the TLS protocol over
the top of another QIOChannel instance. The object provides a
simplified API to perform the handshake when starting the TLS
session. The layering of TLS over the underlying channel does
not have to be setup immediately. It is possible to take an
existing QIOChannel that has done some handshake and then swap
in the QIOChannelTLS layer. This allows for use with protocols
which start TLS right away, and those which start plain text
and then negotiate TLS.

Add a QIOChannel subclass that is capable of operating on things
that are files, such as plain files, pipes, character/block
devices, but notably not sockets.

Implement a QIOChannel subclass that supports sockets I/O.
The implementation is able to manage a single socket file
descriptor, whether a TCP/UNIX listener, TCP/UNIX connection,
or a UDP datagram. It provides APIs which can listen and
connect either asynchronously or synchronously. Since there
is no asynchronous DNS lookup API available, it uses the
QIOTask helper for spawning a background thread to ensure
non-blocking operation.

A number of I/O operations need to be performed asynchronously
to avoid blocking the main loop. The caller of such APIs need
to provide a callback to be invoked on completion/error and
need access to the error, if any. The small QIOTask provides
a simple framework for dealing with such probes. The API
docs inline provide an outline of how this is to be used.
Some functions don't have the ability to run asynchronously
(eg getaddrinfo always blocks), so to facilitate their use,
the task class provides a mechanism to run a blocking
function in a thread, while triggering the completion
callback in the main event loop thread. This easily allows
any synchronous function to be made asynchronous, albeit
at the cost of spawning a thread.
In this series, the QIOTask class will be used for things like
the TLS handshake, the websockets handshake and TCP connect()
progress.
The concept of QIOTask is inspired by the GAsyncResult
interface / GTask class in the GIO libraries. The min
version requirements on glib don't allow those to be
used from QEMU, so QIOTask provides a facsimilie which
can be easily switched to GTask in the future if the
min version is increased.

A number of the channel implementations will require the
ability to create watches on file descriptors / sockets.
To avoid duplicating this code in each channel, provide a
helper API for dealing with file descriptor watches.
There are two watch implementations provided. The first
is useful for bi-directional file descriptors such as
sockets, regular files, character devices, etc. The
second works with a pair of unidirectional file descriptors
such as pipes.

Start the new generic I/O channel framework by defining a
QIOChannel abstract base class. This is designed to feel
similar to GLib's GIOChannel, but with the addition of
support for using iovecs, qemu error reporting, file
descriptor passing, coroutine integration and use of
the QOM framework for easier sub-classing.
The intention is that anywhere in QEMU that almost
anywhere that deals with sockets will use this new I/O
infrastructure, so that it becomes trivial to then layer
in support for TLS encryption. This will at least include
the VNC server, char device backend and migration code.
