Cover the empty iovec noop, the fast path where iovecs go straight to
preadv or pwritev, and misaligned O_DIRECT scatter and gather across
multiple iovecs including a partial block read-modify-write.

Add read_vectored_at and write_vectored_at to AlignedFile. They take
the aligned fast path with a single preadv or pwritev when the offset
and every iovec base and length satisfy the O_DIRECT alignment, and
otherwise bounce through an AlignedBuffer, scattering on read and
gathering with a read-modify-write on write.
Convert the raw sync engine to these methods and drop its raw preadv
and pwritev block. The methods are unsafe because their soundness
depends on the caller passing iovecs that describe valid memory for
iov_len bytes.

Nothing reads or writes the AlignedFile through a cursor anymore, so
remove the Read, Write, and Seek impls together with the in memory
position field. SeekHole no longer tracks a position. The cursor unit
tests move to read_at and write_at, dropping the one that duplicated
existing coverage.

Add a write side counterpart to read_unaligned_propagates_closure_error.
The test drives write_unaligned with a gather closure that returns an
error and checks that write_unaligned surfaces it unchanged.

Cover read_unaligned and write_unaligned directly: a scatter read at an
unaligned offset, a short read at EOF, a read-modify-write gather that
preserves head and tail padding, and error propagation from the
scatter closure.

run_unaligned_operation staged every unaligned request in a plain Vec
and then handed it to AlignedFile, which bounced again through an
aligned buffer. That Vec only gave the operation a contiguous range to
scatter into or gather from, which the aligned buffer already is, so
each slow path request paid for an extra allocation and a full length
copy.
Add read_unaligned and write_unaligned on AlignedFile that own the
single aligned bounce and scatter or gather through a closure over the
staging slice. run_unaligned_operation and the FileExt read_at and
write_at impls both route through them, so the staging and
read-modify-write logic lives in one place. The closures keep
AlignedFile free of any AsyncIoOperation dependency.

BlockBackend predated the disk_file trait family and only carried
logical_size and physical_size, which the disk backends expose
through the disk_file traits DiskSize and PhysicalSize.
It added no polymorphism while its Read, Write and Seek supertraits
forced an unused cursor. Dropping the trait removes the dead code
it was keeping alive.

RawFile wrapped AlignedFile only to add a seek position and the file
trait impls that the qcow and vhost_user_block code expects. Fold that
position and every impl onto AlignedFile so the wrapper layer goes away
and callers work with a single O_DIRECT aware file type.
AlignedFile now tracks a cursor and implements Read, Write, Seek,
WriteZeroesAt, PunchHole, FileSync, SeekHole, BlockBackend, Clone,
AsRawFd and AsFd in addition to the positional FileExt path. The
direct_io flag is dropped because alignment already encodes it, where
a zero alignment means the file was not opened with O_DIRECT.
All RawFile uses in the qcow internals and vhost_user_block move to
AlignedFile, and raw_file.rs is removed.

Move the statx STATX_DIOALIGN probe out of DiskTopology into a free
probe_direct_alignment helper keyed on a raw fd. The helper gates on the
O_DIRECT open flag and returns the kernel reported alignment only when
direct I/O is in effect, and None otherwise. DiskTopology::probe keeps
the same call path and result.
AlignedFile::new now determines its O_DIRECT block alignment from
probe_direct_alignment instead of trial reads at 512 and 4096, falling
back to SECTOR_SIZE when the kernel does not report a value. This
matches how the raw and fixed VHD workers determine alignment, so all
backends agree on one source of truth.

By redirecting VHDx I/O through the AlignedFile the required RMW
semantics can be achieved for writes less than the logical block size
whilt reusing the same logic used for other backend implementations.

Reuse the functionality in the AlignedFile wrapper for the QCOW RawFile

Provide a single home for O_DIRECT alignment and RMW behavior behind an
std::os::unix::fs::FileExt implementation built on AlignedBuffer.
Unaligned requests are bounced through an AlignedBuffer (applying RMW
for writes) and aligned requests pass straight through to the inner
File.
