io_uring: export cq overflow status to userspace

For those applications which are not willing to use io_uring_enter()
to reap and handle cqes, they may completely rely on liburing's
io_uring_peek_cqe(), but if cq ring has overflowed, currently because
io_uring_peek_cqe() is not aware of this overflow, it won't enter
kernel to flush cqes, below test program can reveal this bug:

static void test_cq_overflow(struct io_uring *ring)
{
        struct io_uring_cqe *cqe;
        struct io_uring_sqe *sqe;
        int issued = 0;
        int ret = 0;

        do {
                sqe = io_uring_get_sqe(ring);
                if (!sqe) {
                        fprintf(stderr, "get sqe failed\n");
                        break;;
                }
                ret = io_uring_submit(ring);
                if (ret <= 0) {
                        if (ret != -EBUSY)
                                fprintf(stderr, "sqe submit failed: %d\n", ret);
                        break;
                }
                issued++;
        } while (ret > 0);
        assert(ret == -EBUSY);

        printf("issued requests: %d\n", issued);

        while (issued) {
                ret = io_uring_peek_cqe(ring, &cqe);
                if (ret) {
                        if (ret != -EAGAIN) {
                                fprintf(stderr, "peek completion failed: %s\n",
                                        strerror(ret));
                                break;
                        }
                        printf("left requets: %d\n", issued);
                        continue;
                }
                io_uring_cqe_seen(ring, cqe);
                issued--;
                printf("left requets: %d\n", issued);
        }
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
        int ret;
        struct io_uring ring;

        ret = io_uring_queue_init(16, &ring, 0);
        if (ret) {
                fprintf(stderr, "ring setup failed: %d\n", ret);
                return 1;
        }

        test_cq_overflow(&ring);
        return 0;
}

To fix this issue, export cq overflow status to userspace by adding new
IORING_SQ_CQ_OVERFLOW flag, then helper functions() in liburing, such as
io_uring_peek_cqe, can be aware of this cq overflow and do flush accordingly.
