raw-posix: Deprecate aio=threads fallback without O_DIRECT

Currently, if the user requests aio=native, but forgets to choose a
cache mode that sets O_DIRECT, that request is silently ignored and raw
falls back to aio=threads.

Deprecate that behaviour so we can make it an error in future qemu
versions.
