This patch introduces signalfd() to work around the signal/select race in
checking for AIO completions.  For platforms that don't support signalfd(), we
emulate it with threads.

There was a long discussion about this approach.  I don't believe there are any
fundamental problems with this approach and I believe eliminating the use of
signals is a good thing.

I've tested Windows and Linux using Windows and Linux guests.  I've also checked
for disk IO performance regressions.

Qemu 0.9.1 and earlier does not perform range checks for block device
read or write requests, which allows guest host users with root
privileges to access arbitrary memory and escape the virtual machine.

Remove QEMU_TOOL. Replace with QEMU_IMG and NEED_CPU_H.
Avoid linking qemu-img against whole system emulatior.
