Now runs a complete set of tests, notably including the AIO test. File descriptors are passed in and out as plain ints (instead of *os.File) for a couple of reasons: (1) We have to pass the plain int to syscall.Select. (2) Turning an fd into an os.File causes golang to set the blocking flag which is deeply unhelpful. Rich.

This feature is roughly finished now, although it needs a few more tests and some examples. It's pretty much up to par with all the other bindings, but it lacks a completely safe AIO buffer. It won't stop you from freeing the buffer too early) because golang's GC inexplicably lacks a way to declare a root from C. I can probably do it with a global variable and ref counting on the

Go 1.17 or newer is required to use unsafe.Slice(), which in turn allows us to write a simpler conversion from a C array to a Go object during callbacks.
