This patch changes qemu_set_fd_handler to be implemented in terms of

required.
qemu_set_fd_handler2 is much harder to convert because of its use of
polling.
The glib main loop has the major of advantage of having a proven
thread safe
architecture. By using the glib main loop instead of our own, it
will allow us
to eventually introduce multiple I/O threads.
I'm pretty sure that this will work on Win32, but I would appreciate
some help
testing. I think the semantics of g_io_channel_unix_new() are really
just tied
to the notion of a "unix fd" and not necessarily unix itself.
'git bisect' fingered this as responsible for breaking
qcow2+cache=unsafe. I think there's an off-by-one here and the guilty
patch is the one that switches the main loop, but that's just a guess.
The symptoms are that a guest that is restarted (new qemu process)
after install doesn't make it through grub - some image data didn't
make it do disk. With qcow2 and cache=unsafe that can easily happen
through exit notifiers not being run and the entire qcow2 metadata
being thrown out the window. Running with raw+cache=unsafe works.
Upstream appears to work for me... strange.
