[Libguestfs] [PATCH libnbd 0/9] golang: Safer, easier to use, and faster AioBuffer

[Nir Soffer]

Improve AioBuffer to make it safer, easier to use, and faster when integrating
with other Go APIs.

New Go specific APIs:

- MakeAioBufferZero() - creates a new buffer using calloc(), to make it easy
  and efficient to use a zeroed buffer.

- AioBuffer.Slice() - create a slice backed by the underlying buffer without
  copying the contents of the buffer.

Performance improments:

- FromBytes() is 3 time faster
- Code using Bytes() should use Slice() now. aio_copy example shows up to 260%
  speedup.

Improve testing:

- New AioBuffer tests
- New AioBuffer benchmarks

Documention:

- AioBuffer is fully documnted now.
