aio: Combine io_uring memory mappings, if supported
By default io_uring creates a shared memory mapping for each io_uring
instance, leading to a large number of memory mappings. Unfortunately a large
number of memory mappings slows things down, backend exit is particularly
affected. To address that, newer kernels (6.5) support using user-provided
memory for the memory. By putting the relevant memory into shared memory we
don't need any additional mappings.
On a system with a new enough kernel and liburing, there is no discernible
overhead when doing a pgbench -S -C anymore.
