There is a small chance that iothread_stop() hangs as follows:

The relevant code from iothread_run() is:
while (!atomic_read(&iothread->stopping)) {
aio_poll(iothread->ctx, true);
and iothread_stop():
iothread->stopping = true;
aio_notify(iothread->ctx);
...
qemu_thread_join(&iothread->thread);
The following scenario can occur:
1. IOThread:
while (!atomic_read(&iothread->stopping)) -> stopping=false
2. Main loop:
iothread->stopping = true;
aio_notify(iothread->ctx);
3. IOThread:
aio_poll(iothread->ctx, true); -> hang
The bug is explained by the AioContext->notify_me doc comments:
"If this field is 0, everything (file descriptors, bottom halves,
timers) will be re-evaluated before the next blocking poll(), thus the
event_notifier_set call can be skipped."
The problem is that "everything" does not include checking
iothread->stopping. This means iothread_run() will block in aio_poll()
if aio_notify() was called just before aio_poll().
This patch fixes the hang by replacing aio_notify() with
aio_bh_schedule_oneshot(). This makes aio_poll() or g_main_loop_run()
to return.
Implementing this properly required a new bool running flag. The new
flag prevents races that are tricky if we try to use iothread->stopping.
Now iothread->stopping is purely for iothread_stop() and
iothread->running is purely for the iothread_run() thread.
