Add POSIX AIO support
POSIX AIO is a standard for asynchronous file I/O. Read, write, and fsync operations can all take place in the background, with completion notification delivered by a signal, by a new thread, by kqueue, or not at all. This commit supports all standard AIO functions. However, lio_listio is disabled on macos because it doesn't seem to work, even though the syscall is present. The SigEvent class, used for AIO notifications among other things, is also added. Also, impl AsRef for TimeVal and TimeSpec
