Eliminate need to resolve cache based on the queue. This allows to share
the queue between cache instances. The queue still holds pointer to
a cache that owns the queue, but no management or io path relies on the
queue -> cache mapping.

Management path does not benefit much from mpools, as number of requests
allocated is very small. It's less restrictive (mngt_queue does not have
single-CPU affinity) thus avoiding mpool usage in management path allows
to introduce additional restrictions on mpool, leading to I/O performance
improvement.

Now the request can be pushed to a high priority queue (instead of ocf_queue_push_req_front)
and to a low priority queue (instead of ocf_queue_push_req_back).
Both functions were merged into one function (ocf_queue_push_req) and instead of the
allow_sync parameter there is now a flags parameter that can be an OR combination of
OCF_QUEUE_ALLOW_SYNC and OCF_QUEUE_PRIO_HIGH

there is an issue when someone call to parallelize/pipeline
with some struct that is aligned (say to 64B)
but these APIs add their own data, right before
the user's private data.
so, the user's data is no longer aligned
which might cause segfault in some cases.

Remove one callback indirection level. I/O never changes it's direction
so there is no point in storing both read and write callbacks for each
request.

Management pipelines tend to consist of multiple asynchronous steps.
Allowing synchronous queue kick results in massive call stacks (e.g.
almost 500 functions deep in case of cache stop). Since async kick
is required anyway, it seems reasonable to switch to async kick
in pipeline implementation.

ocf_request has always been first class citizen in OCF,
so lets place it along with another essential objects.

This allows to reuse same step functions giving them different parameters
on each step.
Additionally move pipeline to utils, to make it accessible to other
subsystems of OCF (e.g. metadata).
