aio: Refactor tests in preparation for more tests

In a future commit more AIO related tests are due to be introduced. However
001_aio.pl already is fairly large.

This commit introduces a new TestAio package with helpers for writing AIO
related tests. Then it uses the new helpers to simplify the existing
001_aio.pl by iterating over all supported io_methods. This will be
particularly helpful because additional methods already have been submitted.

Additionally this commit splits out testing of initdb using a non-default
method into its own test. While that test is somewhat important, it's fairly
slow and doesn't break that often. For development velocity it's helpful for
001_aio.pl to be faster.

While particularly the latter could benefit from being its own commit, it
seems to introduce more back-and-forth than it's worth.
