Both users of RateLimit, block-copy.c and blockjob.c, treat
a speed of zero as unlimited, while RateLimit treats it as
"as slow as possible". The latter is nicer from the code
point of view but pretty useless, so disable rate limiting
if a speed of zero is provided.

Right now, rate limiting is protected by the AioContext mutex, which is
taken for example both by the block jobs and by qmp_block_job_set_speed
(via find_block_job).
We would like to remove the dependency of block layer code on the
AioContext mutex, since most drivers and the core I/O code are already
not relying on it. However, there is no existing lock that can easily
be taken by both ratelimit_set_speed and ratelimit_calculate_delay,
especially because the latter might run in coroutine context (and
therefore under a CoMutex) but the former will not.
Since concurrent calls to ratelimit_calculate_delay are not possible,
one idea could be to use a seqlock to get a snapshot of slice_ns and
slice_quota. But for now keep it simple, and just add a mutex to the
RateLimit struct; block jobs are generally not performance critical to
the point of optimizing the clock cycles spent in synchronization.
This also requires the introduction of init/destroy functions, so
add them to the two users of ratelimit.h.

Back in 2016, we discussed[1] rules for headers, and these were
generally liked:
1. Have a carefully curated header that's included everywhere first. We
got that already thanks to Peter: osdep.h.
2. Headers should normally include everything they need beyond osdep.h.
If exceptions are needed for some reason, they must be documented in
the header. If all that's needed from a header is typedefs, put
those into qemu/typedefs.h instead of including the header.
3. Cyclic inclusion is forbidden.
This patch gets include/ closer to obeying 2.
It's actually extracted from my "[RFC] Baby steps towards saner
headers" series[2], which demonstrates a possible path towards
checking 2 automatically. It passes the RFC test there.

It is possible for rate limited writes to keep overshooting a slice's
quota by a tiny amount causing the slice-aligned waiting period to
effectively halve the rate.

The user interface specifies job rate limits in bytes/second.
It's pointless to have our internal representation track things
in sectors/second, particularly since we want to move away from
sector-based interfaces.
Fix up a doc typo found while verifying that the ratelimit
code handles the scaling difference.
Repetition of expressions like 'n * BDRV_SECTOR_SIZE' will be
cleaned up later when functions are converted to iterate over
images by bytes rather than by sectors.

ratelimit_calculate_delay() previously reset the accounting every time
slice, no matter how much data had been processed before. This had (at
least) two consequences:
1. The minimum speed is rather large, e.g. 5 MiB/s for commit and stream.
Not sure if there are real-world use cases where this would be a
problem. Mirroring and backup over a slow link (e.g. DSL) would
come to mind, though.
2. Tests for block job operations (e.g. cancel) were rather racy
All block jobs currently use a time slice of 100ms. That's a
reasonable value to get smooth output during regular
operation. However this also meant that the state of block jobs
changed every 100ms, no matter how low the configured limit was. On
busy hosts, qemu often transferred additional chunks until the test
case had a chance to cancel the job.
Fix the block job rate limit code to delay for more than one time
slice to address the above issues. To make it easier to handle
oversized chunks we switch the semantics from returning a delay
_before_ the current request to a delay _after_ the current
request. If necessary, this delay consists of multiple time slice
units.
Since the mirror job sends multiple chunks in one go even if the rate
limit was exceeded in between, we need to keep track of the start of
the current time slice so we can correctly re-compute the delay for
the updated amount of data.
The minimum bandwidth now is 1 data unit per time slice. The block
jobs are currently passing the amount of data transferred in sectors
and using 100ms time slices, so this translates to 5120
bytes/second. With chunk sizes usually being O(512KiB), tests have
plenty of time (O(100s)) to operate on block jobs. The chance of a
race condition now is fairly remote, except possibly on insanely
loaded systems.
