Alberto Faria 0f3de970fe block: Add no_coroutine_fn and coroutine_mixed_fn marker
Add more annotations to functions, describing valid and invalid
calls from coroutine to non-coroutine context.

When applied to a function, no_coroutine_fn advertises that it should
not be called from coroutine_fn functions.  This can be because the
function blocks or, in the case of generated_co_wrapper, to enforce
that coroutine_fn functions directly call the coroutine_fn that backs
the generated_co_wrapper.

coroutine_mixed_fn instead is for function that can be called in
both coroutine and non-coroutine context, but will suspend when
called in coroutine context.  Annotating them is a first step
towards enforcing that non-annotated functions are absolutely
not going to suspend.

These can be used for example with the vrc tool:

    # find functions that *really* cannot be called from no_coroutine_fn
    (vrc) load --loader clang libblock.fa.p/meson-generated_.._block_block-gen.c.o
    (vrc) paths [no_coroutine_fn,!coroutine_mixed_fn]
    bdrv_remove_persistent_dirty_bitmap
    bdrv_create
    bdrv_can_store_new_dirty_bitmap

    # find how coroutine_fns end up calling a mixed function
    (vrc) load --loader clang --force libblock.fa.p/*.c.o
    (vrc) paths [coroutine_fn] [!no_coroutine_fn]* [coroutine_mixed_fn]
    ...
    bdrv_pread <- vhdx_log_write <- vhdx_log_write_and_flush <- vhdx_co_writev
    ...
