Eric Blake e31f6864a6 block: Support byte-based aio callbacks
We are gradually moving away from sector-based interfaces, towards
byte-based.  Add new sector-based aio callbacks for read and write,
to match the fact that bdrv_aio_pdiscard is already byte-based.

Ideally, drivers should be converted to use coroutine callbacks
rather than aio; but that is not quite as trivial (and if we were
to do that conversion, the null-aio driver would disappear), so for
the short term, converting the signature but keeping things with
aio is easier.  However, we CAN declare that a driver that uses
the byte-based aio interfaces now defaults to byte-based
operations, and must explicitly provide a refresh_limits override
to stick with larger alignments (making the alignment issues more
obvious directly in the drivers touched in the next few patches).

Once all drivers are converted, the sector-based aio callbacks will
be removed; in the meantime, a FIXME comment is added due to a
slight inefficiency that will be touched up as part of that later
cleanup.

Simplify some instances of 'bs->drv' into 'drv' while touching this,
since the local variable already exists to reduce typing.
