Add the ability for a caller to wait for completion of the
background thread to synchronously dispatch its result, without
needing to wait for the main loop to run the idle callback.
This method needs very careful usage to avoid a dangerous
race condition with the free'ing of the task. The completion
callback is normally invoked from an idle callback registered
with the main loop context. The qio_task_wait_thread method
must only be called if the completion callback has not yet
run. The only safe way to achieve this is to run the
qio_task_wait_thread method from the thread that executes
the main loop.
It is generally a bad idea to use this method since it will
block execution of the main loop, however, the design of
the character devices and its usage from vhostuser already
requires blocking execution.

Currently the struct QIOTaskThreadData is only needed by the worker
thread, but a subsequent patch will need to access it from another
context.

qio_task_run_in_thread() allows main thread to run blocking operations
in the background. However it has an assumption on that it's always
working with the default context. This patch tries to allow the threaded
QIO task framework to run with non-default gcontext.
Currently no functional change so far, so the QIOTasks are still always
running on main context.

It is strange that it was called gio_task_thread_result. Rename it to
follow the naming rule of the file.

If a QIOTask has an error set and the calling code uses
qio_task_propagate_error() to steal the reference to
that Error object, the task would not clear its own
reference. This would lead to a double-free when
qio_task_free runs, if the caller had (correctly) freed
the Error object they now owned.

Now that task objects have a directly associated error,
there's no need for an an Error **errp parameter to
the QIOTask thread worker function. It already has a
QIOTask object, so can directly set the error on it.

Currently the QIOTaskFunc signature takes an Object * for
the source, and an Error * for any error. We also need to
be able to provide a result pointer. Rather than continue
to add parameters to QIOTaskFunc, remove the existing
ones and simply pass the QIOTask object instead. This
has methods to access all the other data items required
in the callback impl.

Currently when a task fails, the error is never explicitly
associated with the task object, it is just passed along
through the completion callback. This adds the ability to
explicitly associate an error with the task.

Currently there is no data associated with a successful
task completion. This adds an opaque pointer to the task
to store an arbitrary result.

Incrementing the reference in qio_task_get_source is
not necessary, since we're not running concurrently
with any other code touching the QIOTask. This
minimizes chances of further memory leaks.

Commit 57cb38b included qapi/error.h into qemu/osdep.h to get the
Error typedef. Since then, we've moved to include qemu/osdep.h
everywhere. Its file comment explains: "To avoid getting into
possible circular include dependencies, this file should not include
any other QEMU headers, with the exceptions of config-host.h,
compiler.h, os-posix.h and os-win32.h, all of which are doing a
similar job to this file and are under similar constraints."
qapi/error.h doesn't do a similar job, and it doesn't adhere to
similar constraints: it includes qapi-types.h. That's in excess of
100KiB of crap most .c files don't actually need.
Add the typedef to qemu/typedefs.h, and include that instead of
qapi/error.h. Include qapi/error.h in .c files that need it and don't
get it now. Include qapi-types.h in qom/object.h for uint16List.
Update scripts/clean-includes accordingly. Update it further to match
reality: replace config.h by config-target.h, add sysemu/os-posix.h,
sysemu/os-win32.h. Update the list of includes in the qemu/osdep.h
comment quoted above similarly.
This reduces the number of objects depending on qapi/error.h from "all
of them" to less than a third. Unfortunately, the number depending on
qapi-types.h shrinks only a little. More work is needed for that one.

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.
