  1. Add libaio and xfsdump utility (requirements for xfstests)

    libaio (asynchronous I/O library) is needed to compile xfstests,
    and xfsdump is called pretty frequently in the tests.
    
    Snippets from the manpages:
    
    The libaio library defines a new set of I/O operations which can
    significantly reduce the time an application spends waiting at I/O.
    The new functions allow a program to initiate one or more I/O
    operations and then immediately resume normal work while the I/O
    operations are executed in parallel.
    
    xfsdump backs up files and their attributes in a filesystem. The
    files are dumped to storage media, a regular file, or standard
    output. Options allow the operator to have all files dumped, just
    files that have changed since a previous dump, or just files
    contained in a list of pathnames.
