aio: nng_aio_defer replaced by nng_aio_start

This represents an API change, and we remove the nng_aio_begin
function as well, introducing the lightweight nng_aio_reset instead.

+## AIO Provider API changes

+The API used for providers for asynchronous I/O operations has changed slightly.

+- The `nng_aio_begin` function is removed. However a new [`nng_aio_reset`] function should be called
+  instead, before performing any other operations on an _aio_ object. (This simply clears certain fields.)
+- The `nng_aio_defer` function is replaced, with a very [`nng_aio_start`] function. However, this function
+  has slightly different semantics. It will automatically call the callback if the operation cannot be
+  scheduled.
+- Be aware of the new `NNG_ESTOPPED` error code, for operations on a handle that is being torn down by
+  the consumer.
