util/async: add a human-readable name to BHs for debugging

It can be difficult to debug issues with BHs in production environments.
Although BHs can usually be identified by looking up their ->cb()
function pointer, this requires debug information for the program. It is
also not possible to print human-readable diagnostics about BHs because
they have no identifier.

This patch adds a name to each BH. The name is not unique per instance
but differentiates between cb() functions, which is usually enough. It's
done by changing aio_bh_new() and friends to macros that stringify cb.

The next patch will use the name field when reporting leaked BHs.
