This patch introduces a new xnvme fio engine.

xNVMe provides an API for synchronous and asynchronous I/O.
A library backs the API, libxnvme, which provides implementations for API users to
run their I/O application on Linux, FreeBSD, macOS, and Windows without changing the application code.

Implementations of sync. interfaces include:
* psync (preadv/pwritev)
* Linux NVMe driver-ioctl
* FreeBSD NVMe driver-ioctl

Implementations of async. interfaces include:
* io_uring
* io_uring_cmd (experimental)
* libaio
* POSIX aio

In addition to the OS-managed interfaces, the library also utilize user-space NVMe-drivers
e.g. the SPDK NVMe/driver. Furthermore, "async-fallbacks" provide "async-emulation" in a sequential form
and using a thread pool. Finally, a "nil" implementation is available to evaluate encapsulation/library overhead.

The xNVMe C API currently supports Windows interfaces: Windows Storport, IOCP, and experimental io_ring.
However, these are not functional with the engine due to a few missing dependencies.

This patch also includes two example job files for Conventinal and ZNS specific commands.
In addition, it demonstrates how to instrument the engine to use different interfaces and with a user-space NVMe driver.


Changes since v1:
- Addressed review comments from Vincent.
- Improved error-logging and debugging by replacing XNVME_DEBUG with
  log_err, log_info and dprintf.
- Fixed issues when enabling iovec-payloads, now using io_u->mmap_data
  instead of io_u->engine_data as it gets overwritten by io_u->index.
