The Big QEMU Lock ("BQL") has two other names: "iothread lock" and "QEMU global
mutex". The term "iothread lock" is easily confused with the unrelated --object

This series updates the code and documentation to consistently use "BQL". This
makes the code easier to understand.

For the whole series,
