performance-metrics: Add QCOW2 async write micro benchmark

Add micro_bench_qcow_async_write which writes clusters into an
empty QCOW2 image through the QcowAsync io_uring path. Writes
in QcowAsync are synchronous due to COW metadata allocation, so
this measures the write path overhead through the async code path.
