Adapt the read stream logic for real AIO: - If AIO is enabled, we shouldn't issue advice, but if it isn't, we should continue issuing advice - AIO benefits from reading ahead with direct IO - If effective_io_concurrency=0, pass READ_BUFFERS_SYNCHRONOUSLY to StartReadBuffers() to ensure synchronous IO execution There are further improvements we should consider: - While in read_stream_look_ahead(), we can use AIO batch submission mode for increased efficiency. That however requires care to avoid deadlocks and thus done separately. - It can be beneficial to defer starting new IOs until we can issue multiple IOs at once. That however requires non-trivial heuristics to decide when to do so.
