The purpose of AsyncContexts was to protect qcow and qcow2 against reentrancy
during an emulated bdrv_read/write (which includes a qemu_aio_wait() call and
can run AIO callbacks of different requests if it weren't for AsyncContexts).
Now both qcow and qcow2 are protected by CoMutexes and AsyncContexts can be
removed.

Without this, qemu segfaults when a BH handler first deletes its BH and
then calls another function which involves a nested qemu_bh_poll() call.
This can be reproduced by generating an I/O error (e.g. with blkdebug) on
an IDE device and using rerror/werror=stop to stop the VM. When continuing
the VM, qemu segfaults.

Add the possibility to use AIO and BHs without allowing foreign callbacks to be
run. Basically, you put your own AIOs and BHs in a separate context. For
details see the comments in the source.

Instead of putting more and more stuff into vl.c, let's have the generic
functions that deal with asynchronous callbacks in their own file.
