Make epoll use less RAM.

Browse Source 
We do this by not allocating the maximum epoll_event array for the epoll
backend at startup.  Instead, we start out accepting 32 events at a time, and
double the array's size when it seems that the OS is generating events faster
than we're requesting them.  This saves up to 374K per epoll-based
event_base.  Resolves bug 2839240.

@ -19,6 +19,7 @@ Changes in 2.0.3-alpha:
o When we send a BEV_EVENT_CONNECTED to indicate connected status, we no longer invoke the write callback as well unless we actually wrote data too.
o If the kernel tells us that there are a negative number of bytes to read from a socket, do not believe it. Fixes bug 2841177; found by Alexander Pronchenkov.
o Do not detect whether we have monotonic clock support every time a new event base is created: instead do it only once. Patch taken from Chromium.
o Do not allocate the maximum event queue for the epoll backend at startup. Instead, start out accepting 32 events at a time, and double the queue's size when it seems that the OS is generating events faster than we're requesting them. Saves up to 374K per epoll-based event_base. Resolves bug 2839240.
