My concept with `class CancellableOperation` doesn't work properly, because the kernel may continue to write to the given buffer as soon as the read finishes. To fix this, this commit adds `class ReadOperation` which owns the buffer and the `struct iovec`. Instances of this class persist until the read really finishes, even if the operation is canceled.

This is the final piece of the series to establish io_uring support on Linux. MPD doesn't need io_uring for its efficient bulk I/O support, but to allow file I/O to be cancelled. This is a big problem on CIFS/NFS mounts where processes sleep uninterruptable if the file server disappears, deadlocking MPD. With io_uring, a flaky NFS connection allows MPD to continue to work (even though there are still deadlocks inside MPD which need to be addressed). This plugin does not yet use cancellable `open()` using `IORING_OP_OPENAT`. This will be implemented later. Lots of other optimization opportunities for io_uring are still missing as well - for example the database update could benefit a lot, but unfortunately, io_uring doesn't have `readdir()` support just yet.
