aio-posix: fix spurious ->poll_ready() callbacks in main loop

Browse Source 
When ->poll() succeeds the AioHandler is placed on the ready list with
revents set to the magic value 0. This magic value causes
aio_dispatch_handler() to invoke ->poll_ready() instead of ->io_read()
for G_IO_IN or ->io_write() for G_IO_OUT.

This magic value 0 hack works for the IOThread where AioHandlers are
placed on ->ready_list and processed by aio_dispatch_ready_handlers().
It does not work for the main loop where all AioHandlers are processed
by aio_dispatch_handlers(), even those that are not ready and have a
revents value of 0.

As a result the main loop invokes ->poll_ready() on AioHandlers that are
not ready. These spurious ->poll_ready() calls waste CPU cycles and
could lead to crashes if the code assumes ->poll() must have succeeded
before ->poll_ready() is called (a reasonable asumption but I haven't
seen it in practice).

Stop using revents to track whether ->poll_ready() will be called on an
AioHandler. Introduce a separate AioHandler->poll_ready field instead.
This eliminates spurious ->poll_ready() calls in the main loop.
