blockdev: add x-blockdev-set-iothread testing command

Currently there is no easy way for iotests to ensure that a BDS is bound
to a particular IOThread.  Normally the virtio-blk device calls
blk_set_aio_context() when dataplane is enabled during guest driver
initialization.  This never happens in iotests since -machine
accel=qtest means there is no guest activity (including device driver
initialization).

This patch adds a QMP command to explicitly assign IOThreads in test
cases.  See qapi/block-core.json for a description of the command.

# @x-blockdev-set-iothread:
#
# Move @node and its children into the @iothread. If @iothread is null then
# move @node and its children into the main loop.
#
# The node must not be attached to a BlockBackend.
#
# @node-name: the name of the block driver node
#
# @iothread: the name of the IOThread object or null for the main loop
#
# Note: this command is experimental and intended for test cases that need
# control over IOThreads only.
#
# Since: 2.12
#
# Example:
#
# 1. Move a node into an IOThread
# -> { "execute": "x-blockdev-set-iothread",
# "arguments": { "node-name": "disk1",
# "iothread": "iothread0" } }
# <- { "return": {} }
#
# 2. Move a node into the main loop
# -> { "execute": "x-blockdev-set-iothread",
# "arguments": { "node-name": "disk1",
# "iothread": null } }
# <- { "return": {} }
