qemu-nbd: asynchronous operation

Using coroutines enable asynchronous operation on both the network and
the block side.  Network can be owned by two coroutines at the same time,
one writing and one reading.  On the send side, mutual exclusion is
guaranteed by a CoMutex.  On the receive side, mutual exclusion is
guaranteed because new coroutines immediately start receiving data,
and no new coroutines are created as long as the previous one is receiving.

Between receive and send, qemu-nbd can have an arbitrary number of
in-flight block transfers.  Throttling is implemented by the next
patch.
