A new version of vm-memory was released upstream which resulted in some
components pulling in that new version. Update the version number used
to point to the latest version but continue to use our patched version
due to the fix for #1258

Some operations complete directly after they have been submitted, which
means they are not submitted asynchronously and therefore they don't
generate any ioevent. This is the reason why we are not processing some
of the completed operations, which leads to some unpredictable
behaviors.
Forcing all io_uring operations submitted to the SQE to be asynchronous
helps simplifying the code as it ensures the completion of every
operation will generate an ioevent, therefore no operation is missed.

The Windows virtio block driver puts multiple data descriptors between
the header and the status footer. To handle this when parsing iterate
over the descriptor chain until the end is reached accumulating the
address and length pairs in a vector. For execution iterate over the
vector and make sequential reads from the disk for each data descriptor.

In anticipation for supporting multiple virtio descriptors, let's make
sure the read/write operations are performed with vectored I/O.

By adding a new io_uring feature gate, we let the user the possibility
to choose if he wants to enable the io_uring improvements or not.
Since the io_uring feature depends on the availability on recent host
kernels, it's better if we leave it off for now.
As soon as our CI will have support for a kernel 5.6 with all the
features needed from io_uring, we'll enable this feature gate
permanently.

Creates a dedicated function relying on io_uring crate to execute
io_uring specific requests.
Also creates a function for checking io_uring support on the host.

Extract the code that is used by vhost_user_block from the
virtio-devices crate to remove the dependencies on unrequired
functionality such as the virtio transports.
