The AIO block backend advertises VIRTIO_BLK_F_WRITE_ZEROES
and VIRTIO_BLK_F_DISCARD to guests because the filesystem
probe (supports_sparse_operations) returns true on ext4/XFS.
However, RawFileAsyncAio::write_zeroes() and punch_hole()
return errors because Linux AIO (io_submit) has no IOCB
command for fallocate.
When io_uring is unavailable (e.g. io_uring_disabled=2, a
common security hardening on enterprise Linux), Cloud
Hypervisor falls back to the AIO backend. The guest
negotiates the feature, issues WRITE_ZEROES requests, and
gets I/O errors.
Implement write_zeroes and punch_hole using synchronous
libc::fallocate() calls, matching the pattern used by the
sync backend (RawFileSync). A VecDeque-based completion
list signals results to the caller via the existing eventfd
mechanism.
Unit tests mirror the existing raw_sync.rs test suite.
Integration tests add AIO-specific variants of the discard
and fstrim tests using _disable_io_uring=on.

O_DIRECT requires buffer addresses to be aligned to the backend
device's logical block size. The existing bounce buffer logic in
execute_async() hardcodes SECTOR_SIZE (512) for the alignment check
and bounce buffer allocation. This is insufficient for devices with
a 4096-byte logical block size, where misaligned buffers cause
-EINVAL from the host kernel.
Add an alignment() method to the AsyncIo trait that returns the
backend's logical block size, defaulting to SECTOR_SIZE. The three
raw I/O backends (io_uring, AIO, synchronous) probe the device
topology via DiskTopology::probe() at creation time and return the
actual logical block size. All image format backends would simply
use the default value of 512 bytes since their underlying are
not block devices.
execute_async() now queries disk_image.alignment() instead of using
the hardcoded SECTOR_SIZE

Add capability query to DiskFile trait to check backend
support for sparse operations (punch hole, write zeroes,
discard). Only advertise VIRTIO_BLK_F_DISCARD and
VIRTIO_BLK_F_WRITE_ZEROES when the backend supports these
operations.

Add punch_hole() and write_zeroes() methods to the AsyncIo trait
with stub implementations for all backends. These will be used to
support DISCARD and WRITE_ZEROES operations.

Historically the Cloud Hypervisor coding style has been to ensure that
all imports are ordered and placed in a single group. Unfortunately
cargo fmt has no support for ensuring that all imports are in a single
group so if whitespace lines were added as part of the import statements
then they would only be odered correctly in the group.
By adopting "group_imports="StdExternalCrate" we can enforce a style
where imports are placed in at most three groups for std, external
crates and the crate itself. Choosing a style enforceable by the tooling
reduces the reviewer burden.
