Some QMP command handlers can block the main loop for a relatively long
time, for example because they perform some I/O. This is quite nasty.
Allowing such handlers to run in a coroutine where they can yield (and
therefore release the BQL) while waiting for an event such as I/O
completion solves the problem.

This series adds the infrastructure to allow this and switches
block_resize to run in a coroutine as a first example.

This is an alternative solution to Marc-André's "monitor: add
asynchronous command type" series.

  qapi: Add a 'coroutine' flag for commands
  block: Mark 'block_resize' as coroutine
  vl: Initialise main loop earlier
  qmp: Move dispatcher to a coroutine
