Avoid calling exit() during event_base_new*()

Browse Source 
Previously, each of the three make-an-event-base functions would exit
under different, weird circumstances, but return NULL on others.
  - All three would exit on OOM sometimes.
  - event_base_new() and event_init() would die	if all backends	were
    disabled.
  - None of them would die if the socketpair() call failed.

Now, only event_init() exits on failure, and it exits on every kind of
failure.  event_base_new() and event_base_new_with_config() never do.

@ -35,6 +35,7 @@ Changes in 2.0.3-alpha:
o Add an API to replace all fatal calls to exit() with a user-provided panic function.
o Replace all assert() calls with a variant that is aware of the user-provided logging and panic functions.
o Add a return value to event_assign so that it can fail rather than asserting when the user gives it bad input. event_set still dies on bad input.
o The event_base_new() and event_base_new_with_config() functions now never call exit() on failure. For backward "compatibility", event_init() still does, but more consistently.
Changes in 2.0.2-alpha:
