aio: remove aio_context_acquire()/aio_context_release() API

Delete these functions because nothing calls these functions anymore.

I introduced these APIs in commit 98563fc3ec44 ("aio: add
aio_context_acquire() and aio_context_release()") in 2014. It's with a
sigh of relief that I delete these APIs almost 10 years later.

Thanks to Paolo Bonzini's vision for multi-queue QEMU, we got an
understanding of where the code needed to go in order to remove the
limitations that the original dataplane and the IOThread/AioContext
approach that followed it.

Emanuele Giuseppe Esposito had the splendid determination to convert
large parts of the codebase so that they no longer needed the AioContext
lock. This was a painstaking process, both in the actual code changes
required and the iterations of code review that Emanuele eked out of
Kevin and me over many months.

Kevin Wolf tackled multitudes of graph locking conversions to protect
in-flight I/O from run-time changes to the block graph as well as the
clang Thread Safety Analysis annotations that allow the compiler to
check whether the graph lock is being used correctly.

And me, well, I'm just here to add some pizzazz to the QEMU multi-queue
block layer :). Thank you to everyone who helped with this effort,
including Eric Blake, code reviewer extraordinaire, and others who I've
forgotten to mention.
