erts/kernel: sendfile no longer uses async threads
This has been done because a slow client attack is possible if the
async thread pool is used. The scenario is:
Client does a request for a file and then slowly receives the file one
byte at a time. This will eventually fill the async thread pool with blocking
sendfile operations and thus starving the vm of all file operations.
If you still want to use the async threads pool for sendfile an option to
enable it has been introduced.
