linux AIO support about may

[Xudong-Huang]

Oh, I think it somehow like windows IOCP. I think we can uniform the interface for may::fs::File (compatible with std::fs::File) for all platforms. Linux by AIO and event_fd, windows by IOCP, BSD by kqueue and aio_read. However I have no clue about FreeBSD now.

The linux aio is not yet perfect right now, especially we need to have a io manager for the direct access memory. And there are other solutions pushing forward like io_uring which seems have better performance.

windows IOCP implementation is quite easy for the requirement and it's done.

Yeah, for sled I'm thinking about skipping AIO support initially and just targeting io_uring for the time being since it's so much nicer to work with and also so much more performant
