[PATCH v2 liburing] add helper functions to verify io_uring functionality

[Glauber Costa <glauber@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It is common for an application using an ever-evolving interface to want
to inquire about the presence of certain functionality it plans to use.

Information about opcodes is stored in a io_uring_probe structure. There
is usually some boilerplate involved in initializing one, and then using
it to check if it is enabled.

This patch adds two new helper functions: one that returns a pointer to
a io_uring_probe (or null if it probe is not available), and another one
that given a probe checks if the opcode is supported.
