aio: Basic read_stream adjustments for real AIO
Adapt the read stream logic for real AIO:
- If AIO is enabled, we shouldn't issue advice, but if it isn't, we should
continue issuing advice
- AIO benefits from reading ahead with direct IO
- If effective_io_concurrency=0, pass READ_BUFFERS_SYNCHRONOUSLY to
StartReadBuffers() to ensure synchronous IO execution
There are further improvements we should consider:
- While in read_stream_look_ahead(), we can use AIO batch submission mode for
increased efficiency. That however requires care to avoid deadlocks and thus
done separately.
- It can be beneficial to defer starting new IOs until we can issue multiple
IOs at once. That however requires non-trivial heuristics to decide when to
do so.
