[libvirt] [PATCH 02/12] client rpc: Use event loop for writing

Normally, when every call has a thread associated with it, the thread
may get the buck and be in charge of sending all calls until its own
call is done. When we introduced non-blocking calls, we had to add
special handling of new non-blocking calls. This patch uses event loop
to send data if there is no thread to get the buck so that any
non-blocking calls left in the queue are properly sent without having to
handle them specially. It also avoids adding even more cruft to client
IO loop in the following patches.

With this change in, non-blocking calls may see unpredictable delays in
delivery when the client has no event loop registered. However, the only
non-blocking calls we have are keepalives and we already require event
loop for them.
