In many places throughout the code, we called _bufferevent_run_eventcb
without checking whether the eventcb was actually set. This would
work fine when the bufferevent's callbacks were deferred, but
otherwise the code would segfault. Strangely, we always remembered to
check before calling the _bufferevent_run_{read,write}cb functions.
To prevent similar errors in the future, all of
_buferevent_run_{read,write,event}cb now check to make sure the
callback is actually set before invoking or deferring the callback.
This patch also removes the now-redundant checks for {read,write}cb.
The fairness algorithms are not the best, not every bufferevent type
is supported, and some of the locking tricks here are simply absurd.
Still, this code should be a good first step.
This patch from Chris Davis saves some callback depth, and adds proper
ref-counting to bufferevents when there's a deferred evbuffer callback
inflight. It could use a couple more comments to really nail down what
its invariants are.

This is code by Chris Davis, with changes to get the unit tests failing less aggressively.
The unit tests for this code do not completely pass yet; Chris is looking into that. If they aren't passing by the next release, I'll turn off this code.

Rationale: we hold a lock on the bufferevent when its callbacks are
executing, so we need to release the lock afterwards. But the
callback might free the bufferevent, so unless we're holding a
reference on the bufferevent, the lock might not be there for us to
release.

Paired and asynchronous bufferevents didn't do timeouts, and filtering
bufferevents gave them funny semantics. Now they all should all work
in a way consistent with what socket bufferevents do now: a [read/write]
timeout triggers if [reading/writing] is enabled, and if the timeout is
set, and the right amount of time passes without any data getting
[added to the input buffer/drained from the output buffer].

OpenSSL uses something like this to implement get/set access for
properties on its BIOs, so that it doesn't need to add a pair of
get/set functions to the vtable struct for every new abstract property
it provides an accessor for.
Doing this lets us make bufferevent_setfd abstract, and implement an
abstract bufferevent_getfd.

Either I need to make the callbacks get deferred in a base with no events (doable), or I need to make it okay to call launch_read from inside the callback for read (tricky).
