Libaio Binding

This crate implements a binding for Linux's libaio, for async block IO.

It presents several related APIs:

• raw, which is a fairly direct mapping of the AIO syscalls to Rust
• chan, a channel-oriented interface for submitting AIO operations and getting their results,
• future, a function-oriented interface which returns futures for results

There is also a set of utility modules:

• buf, which defines RdBuf and WrBuf traits, and some implementations for slices and Vec
• directio, for opening direct IO files (preferred for async IO)
• aligned, for allocating suitably aligned memory for direct IO.

This is still very much a work in progress, and the API is not at all stable yet.
