gdb command: qemu handlers

A new gdb commands are added:

  qemu handlers

     That dumps an AioContext list (by default qemu_aio_context)
     possibly including a backtrace for cases it knows about
     (with the verbose option).  Intended to help find why something
     is hanging waiting for IO.

  Use 'qemu handlers --verbose iohandler_ctx'  to find out why
your incoming migration is stuck.

V2:
  Merge into one command with optional handlers arg, and only do
    backtrace in verbose mode
