Dan Winship c20c2c0abd Add pollable input/output streams
When interfacing with APIs that expect unix-style async I/O, it is
useful to be able to tell in advance whether a read/write is going to
block. This adds new interfaces GPollableInputStream and
GPollableOutputStream that can be implemented by a GInputStream or
GOutputStream to add _is_readable/_is_writable, _create_source, and
_read_nonblocking/_write_nonblocking methods.

Also, implement for GUnixInput/OutputStream and
GSocketInput/OutputStream
