Revert "replay: stop us hanging in rr_wait_io_event"

This reverts commit 1f881ea4a444ef36a8b6907b0b82be4b3af253a2.

That commit causes reverse_debugging.py test failures, and does
not seem to solve the root cause of the problem x86-64 still
hangs in record/replay tests.

The problem with short-cutting the iowait that was taken during
record phase is that related events will not get consumed at the
same points (e.g., reading the clock).

A hang with zero icount always seems to be a symptom of an earlier
problem that has caused the recording to become out of synch with
the execution and consumption of events by replay.

replay: allow runstate shutdown->running when replaying trace

When replaying a trace, it is possible to go from shutdown to running
with a reverse-debugging step. This can be useful if the problem being
debugged triggers a reset or shutdown.

This can be tested by making a recording of a machine that shuts down,
then using -action shutdown=pause when replaying it. Continuing to the
end of the trace then reverse-stepping in gdb crashes due to invalid
runstate transition.

Just permitting the transition seems to be all that's necessary for
reverse-debugging to work well in such a state.

system/cpus: rename qemu_mutex_lock_iothread() to bql_lock()

The Big QEMU Lock (BQL) has many names and they are confusing. The
actual QemuMutex variable is called qemu_global_mutex but it's commonly
referred to as the BQL in discussions and some code comments. The
locking APIs, however, are called qemu_mutex_lock_iothread() and
qemu_mutex_unlock_iothread().

The "iothread" name is historic and comes from when the main thread was
split into into KVM vcpu threads and the "iothread" (now called the main
loop thread). I have contributed to the confusion myself by introducing
a separate --object iothread, a separate concept unrelated to the BQL.

The "iothread" name is no longer appropriate for the BQL. Rename the
locking APIs to:
- void bql_lock(void)
- void bql_unlock(void)
- bool bql_locked(void)

There are more APIs with "iothread" in their names. Subsequent patches
will rename them. There are also comments and documentation that will be
updated in later patches.
