From: Stefan Hajnoczi <stefanha@redhat.com>

io_uring may not be available at runtime due to system policies (e.g.
the io_uring_disabled sysctl) or creation could fail due to file
descriptor resource limits.

Handle failure scenarios as follows:

If another AioContext already has io_uring, then fail AioContext
creation so that the aio_add_sqe() API is available uniformly from all
QEMU threads. Otherwise fall back to epoll(7) if io_uring is
unavailable.

Notes:
- Update the comment about selecting the fastest fdmon implementation.
  At this point it's not about speed anymore, it's about aio_add_sqe()
  API availability.
- Uppercase the error message when converting from error_report() to
  error_setg_errno() for consistency (but there are instances of
  lowercase in the codebase).
- It's easier to move the #ifdefs from aio-posix.h to aio-posix.c.
