[PATCHv3,01/03] qemu-iothread: IOThread supports the GMainContext event loop

From: Wang Yong <wang.yong155@zte.com.cn>

IOThread uses AioContext event loop and does not run a GMainContext.
Therefore,chardev cannot work in IOThread,such as the chardev is
used for colo-compare packets reception.

This patch makes the IOThread run the GMainContext event loop,
chardev and IOThread can work together.

You still need aio_notify, so that the aio_poll call in iothread_run exits.
