netfs: Use new folio_queue data type and iterator instead of xarray iter

Make the netfs write-side routines use the new folio_queue struct to hold a
rolling buffer of folios, with the issuer adding folios at the tail and the
collector removing them from the head as they're processed instead of using
an xarray.

This will allow a subsequent patch to simplify the write collector.

The primary mark (as tested by folioq_is_marked()) is used to note if the
corresponding folio needs putting.
