melanie witt c5c1b93d21 libvirt: add configuration option for volume AIO mode
With the NFS, FC, and iSCSI Cinder volume backends, Nova explicitly
sets AIO mode ``io=native`` in the Libvirt guest XML. Operators may set
this option to True in order to defer AIO mode selection to QEMU if
forcing ``io=native`` is not desired.

A new configuration option ``[libvirt]use_default_aio_mode_for_volumes``
has been added to enable use of QEMU default AIO modes for NFS, FC, and
iSCSI Cinder volumes.
By default, Nova explicitly sets AIO mode ``io=native`` in the Libvirt
guest XML for NFS, FC, and iSCSI Cinder volumes. Operators may set this
option to ``True`` in order to defer AIO mode selection to QEMU if forcing
``io=native`` is not desired.
