    qemu-io: Allow unaligned access by default · 093ea232

    There's no reason to require the user to specify a flag just so
    they can pass in unaligned numbers.  Keep 'read -p' and 'write -p'
    as no-ops so that I don't have to hunt down and update all users
    of qemu-io, but otherwise make their behavior default as 'read' and
    'write'.  Also fix 'write -z', 'readv', 'writev', 'writev',
    'aio_read', 'aio_write', and 'aio_write -z'.  For now, 'read -b',
    'write -b', and 'write -c' still require alignment (and 'multiwrite',
    but that's slated to die soon).
    
    qemu-iotest 23 is updated to match, as the only test that was
    previously explicitly expecting an error on an unaligned request.
