io_uring: add option to remove SQ indirection

Not many aware, but io_uring submission queue has two levels. The first
level usually appears as sq_array and stores indexes into the actual SQ.

To my knowledge, no one has ever seriously used it, nor liburing exposes
it to users. Add IORING_SETUP_NO_SQARRAY, when set we don't bother
creating and using the sq_array and SQ heads/tails will be pointing
directly into the SQ. Improves memory footprint, in term of both
allocations as well as cache usage, and also should make io_get_sqe()
less branchy in the end.
