Heap-use-after-free in remote_object_finalize
Description of problem:
While I was working with `QIOChannel` in my downstream QEMU fork, I looked at `hw/remote/remote-obj.c` as a usage example.
I did the same thing to `remote_object_finalize` function in order to free the QIOChannel when the connection closed:
```c
if (o->ioc) {
qio_channel_shutdown(o->ioc, QIO_CHANNEL_SHUTDOWN_BOTH, NULL);
qio_channel_close(o->ioc, NULL);
}
object_unref(OBJECT(o->ioc));
```
After the connection is closed for a while, my program SIGSEGV:
```

```
So apparently, there is a dangling pointer of the QIOChannel in AIOContext.
And indeed, that caused by the fact that when the fd read/write is blocked, it sets the fd handlers to the AIO context before yielding the coroutine (https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/blob/master/io/channel.c#L544).
So after the fd is closed, the AIO still dispatches the fd readable event when the main loop dispatches again, using the dangling QIOChannel pointer (When the fd is reused I think).
I suggest adding a `qio_channel_detach_aio_context()` call before the channel is shutdown in `remote-obj.c`, or before the fd is closed in `qio_channel_close()` in `io/channel.c`
```c
if (o->ioc) {
qio_channel_detach_aio_context(o->ioc);
qio_channel_shutdown(o->ioc, QIO_CHANNEL_SHUTDOWN_BOTH, NULL);
qio_channel_close(o->ioc, NULL);
}
object_unref(OBJECT(o->ioc));
```
This bug might have slipped through the cracks because `mpqemu_remote_msg_loop_co` issues a shutdown request immediately after an I/O error occured on the QIOChannel.
