The previous method for registering I/O queues did not allow the user
to specify queue priority for weighted round robin arbitration, and it
limited the application to one queue per controller per thread.
Change the API to require explicit allocation of each queue for each
controller using the new function spdk_nvme_ctrlr_alloc_io_qpair().
Each function that submits a command on an I/O queue now takes an
explicit qpair parameter rather than implicitly using the thread-local
queue.
This also allows the application to allocate different numbers of
threads per controller; previously, the number of queues was capped at
the smallest value supported by any attached controller.
Weighted round robin arbitration is not supported yet; additional
changes to the controller startup process are required to enable
alternate arbitration methods.
