Instead of having separate Alloc, Alloc_or_wait and Free effects, the scheduler now provides a single Get effect to return itself, and the actual work is now done in the calling fiber. This is a first step to align better with Picos's trigger mechanism (it actually uses Single_waiter, Eio's non-thread-safe equivalent, which is fine here). It seems to be slightly faster too, though that could just be noise.

It would be possible to use DLS to store the scheduler rather than using an effect. However, the improvement in speed is minimal and there are some complications with sys-threads, so probably better to wait for OCaml to support thread-local-storage first.

Note that the wait is non-cancellable at the moment (it was like that before too).

the scheduler now provides a single Get effect to return itself,

and seems to be slightly faster too.

Note that `alloc_fixed_or_wait` is currently not cancellable (it wasn't
before either, but it's more obvious now).

CHANGES:

Changes:

- Make `fork_action.h` a public header (@patricoferris ocaml-multicore/eio#769, reviewed by @talex5).
  Allows other libraries to add new actions.

- Record trace event when spawning processes (@talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#749).
  Spawning a subprocess can take a long time in some cases, so show it clearly in the traces.

- Eio_unix.Net: make some return types more polymorphic (@talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#744).

Bug fixes:

- Preserve backtraces in `fork_daemon` (@talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#779).

- Eio.Path: always use "/" as separator (@talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#743).

Linux backend:

- Allow `alloc_fixed_or_wait` to be cancelled (@talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#753).

- Avoid triggering a (harmless) TSan warning (@talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#754, reported by @avsm).

Windows backend:

- Unregister FDs on cancel (@talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#756).
  Fixes `exception Unix.Unix_error(Unix.ENOTSOCK, "select", "")`.

- Work around problems in `Unix.getaddrinfo` (@talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#780).
  Fixes e.g. `No addresses found for host name "127.0.0.1"`.

- Group `ECONNABORTED` with other connection reset errors (@talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#783).

- Check `has_symlink` for tests (@create2000 ocaml-multicore/eio#771, reviewed by @patricoferris and @talex5).

- Improve `openat` error handling (@talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#742, reported by @kentookura).
  Fixes `exception Unix.Unix_error(Unix.ENOENT, "openat", "")`.

Documentation:

- examples/fs: show how to read files while scanning (@talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#745).

- Add example to `Buf_read.seq` documentation (@talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#739, requested by @darrenldl and @rizo).

Build and test:

- Fix tests on OpenBSD (@talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#782).

- Add advice about using AI for code generation (@patricoferris ocaml-multicore/eio#765, reviewed by @avsm and @talex5).

- Minor code cleanups (@talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#755).

- Define `struct clone_args` for linux-lts versions that don't have it (@copy ocaml-multicore/eio#741, reviewed by @talex5).

- eio_linux: refactor fixed buffer code (@talex5 ocaml-multicore/eio#752).
