Fam Zheng e819ab2277 block: Introduce "null" drivers
This is an analogue to Linux null_blk. It can be used for testing or
benchmarking block device emulation and general block layer
functionalities such as coroutines and throttling, where disk IO is not
necessary or wanted.

Use null-aio:// for AIO version, and null-co:// for coroutine version.

[Resolved conflict with Fam's async bdrv_aio_cancel() series:
1. Drop .bdrv_aio_cancel() since it is now done by block.c
2. Rename qemu_aio_release() to qemu_aio_unref()
