Fix sys-queue.h conflict for good

Problem: Our file sys-queue.h is a copy of the BSD file, but there are
some additions and it's not entirely compatible. Because of that, there have
been conflicts with system headers on BSD systems. Some hacks have been
introduced in the commits 15cc9235840a22c289edbe064a9b3c19c5f49896,...

qcow2: Order concurrent AIO requests on the same unallocated cluster

When two AIO requests write to the same cluster, and this cluster is
unallocated, currently both requests allocate a new cluster and the second one
merges the first one when it is completed. This means an cluster allocation, a...

qcow2: Fix L1 table memory allocation

Contrary to what one could expect, the size of L1 tables is not cluster
aligned. So as we're writing whole sectors now instead of single entries,

qcow2: Rename global functions

The qcow2 source is now split into several more manageable files. During the
conversion quite some functions that were static before needed to be changed to
be global to make the source compile again.

We were lucky enough not to get name conflicts with these additional global...

l2_allocate: Write complete sectors

When modifying the L1 table, l2_allocate() needs to write complete sectors
instead of single entries. The L1 table is already in memory, reading it from
disk in the block layer to align the request is wasted performance....

alloc_cluster_link_l2: Write complete sectors
