Convert glib file descriptor polling from rfds/wfds/xfds to GPollFD.

The Windows code still needs poll_fds[] and n_poll_fds but they can now
become local variables.

This seems clever, but I'm not sure about all the use cases.

When it runs for the very first time, it goes in with
glib_n_poll_fds==0, ie. it queries the number of records needed. Then it
resizes the array so that there are that many records from
glib_pollfds_idx onwards. The second query is expected to succeed.

I wonder if you could just issue a query call up-front with n_fds==0 (to
retrieve the number of records needed) and eliminate the loop. Also,
although the "gpollfds" array is emptied for each iteration in
main_loop_wait() -- and consequently "glib_pollfds_idx" is re-set --,
"glib_n_poll_fds" seems to survive the iterations. Do you intend that as
some kind of caching?

If this "glib_n_poll_fds" from the prior main-loop iteration is exactly
correct, we save one query / iteration here. If the previous value is
too small, then we (maybe) store a leading subsequence of the records,
and retry with the correct size (same case as with glib_n_poll_fds==0
described above).

However if the prior value is too big, our first query succeeds, but
then we truncate the array (which I guess leaves the remaining elements,
ie. all what we need, intact), and then we redo the query unnecessarily.

Again, I wonder if you could just set glib_n_poll_fds=0 right beside
where you re-set "glib_pollfds_idx". If so, then you could eliminate the
loop I believe, just pre-query the number of records needed without
actually storing any.

Anyhow, the patch seems good to me.

Yes and this is the approach that glib itself uses when it calls
g_main_context_query().

g_main_context_query() takes O(n) time in the number of GPollFDs.  I had
hoped n_fds==0 would be a O(1) operation but that is not the case.
Because of this I figured it is better to keep the last n_fds stored
between iterations - we'll guess right most of the time.

The most common scenario is where glib_n_poll_fds stays the same between
calls.  Querying with n_fds==0 would iterate over all GPollFDs
needlessly.  We need glib_n_poll_fds again in the glib_pollfds_poll()
function (it cannot be dropped) so I feel the complexity trade-off is
worth it here.
