commit 1172a8a396cac718c7143b67cdc925e557228d6e

    Move (back?) to a select-based PMDA with custom main.
    
    An observed problem with doing log reads only during the
    metric fetch callback, is that we start getting behind in
    events once the volume starts ramping up from small files
    to the point that the PMDA is overwhelmed.  Caused by two
    issues:
    - only reading new events based solely on client fetch
      intervals means for relatively long intervals (say once
      every few minutes) the consumption doesn't keep up with
      the event generation.
    - only reading once (i.e. one read(2) call) per fetch,
      which made the above even more severe and noticable.
    
    We address these issues by using a custom PMDA loop which
    is awoken on either readable file descriptors or expiry of
    a timer (iow server side driven event reading, not client).
    Whenever we wake, we consume all available events at that
    time for each file descriptor.
