Linux-specific signal handling backend based on signalfd(2)
system call, and public function event_base_get_signal_method()
to obtain an underlying kernel signal handling mechanism.

There can be issues on 32-bit architectures to mmap 2+GiB file, and to
make this portable between different version of glibc, mmap64 was
prefered over _FILE_OFFSET_BITS
Looks like a `splice` implementation was planned, but has clearly never
eventuated (the TODO comment is from ~12 years ago, in
8b5bd77415fb6634fadf08357676926fecf5f032). For now, it's probably better
to remove the unused code/correct the docs.
libevent is lacking a scalable backend on Windows. Let's leverage the wepoll
library until Windows comes up with an epoll/kqueue compete user mode API.
- All regress tests pass for standard wepoll
- These 2 tests fail intermittently for changelist wepoll, so disabling
changelist wepoll for now

http/stream_in
- verify target on Windows runs tests for both wepoll and win32 backends
- wepoll backend preferred over win32 backend
- wepoll version 1.5.6
v2: cleaner backend abstraction. Disallow wepoll on MinGW/Cygwin.
v3: Add wepoll.h to dist
v4: Make sure wepoll source files are excluded from cygwin/mingw builds
v5: Keep win32 as default backend on windows.
v6: Include wepoll in mingw builds. Verified that regress tests pass w/ WEPOLL backend.
v7: Enable wepoll on mingw when building with cmake
v8: Add wepoll testrunner for autotools test target
Checking functions with `CheckFunctionExists` may
get wrong results, we should replace it with
`CheckSymbolExists`, which is recommended by the cmake
official documentation.
Before using `CheckSymbolExists`, we use
`CheckIncludeFiles` to check header files and save the
available header files in a variable that guarantees
`CheckSymbolExists` and `CheckTypeSize` to work correctly.
This approach is modeled after the cmake scripts of `curl`.
The following functions or files were not found before
modification, they can now be found:
- msys2 + mingw-8.1.0 on Windows10 or mingw-7.3.0 on Ubuntu-18.04
timerclear
timercmp
timerisset
- windows10
getaddrinfo
getnameinfo
getprotobynumber
getservbyname
putenv
strtoll
timerclear
timercmp
timerisset
- ubuntu-18.04
sys/sysctl.h
timeradd
timerclear
timercmp
timerisset
- MacOS 10.13
sys/random.h
timeradd
timerclear
timercmp
timerisset
Since sysctl() is deprecated for a long-long time, according to
sysctl(2):
Since Linux 2.6.24, uses of this system call result in warnings in the kernel log.

First of all __func__ is not a macro, it is char[] array, so the code
that we had before in cmake, was incorrect, i.e.:
#if defined (__func__)
#define EVENT____func__ __func__
#elif defined(__FUNCTION__)
#define EVENT____func__ __FUNCTION__
#else
#define EVENT____func__ __FILE__
#endif
So just detect do we have __func__/__FUNCTION__ in configure/cmake
before build and define EVENT__HAVE___func__/EVENT__HAVE___FUNCTION__
to use the later to choose which should be used as a __func__ (if it is
not presented).
Closes: #644
But this is kind of hot-fix, we definitelly need more sane arc4random
compat layer.

Since they are useful for debugging, and if autotools build them then
cmamke has to do this too, to make migration more simple.
And now:
- tests: uses shared libraries (since this is upstreams one)
- other binaries: uses static libraries
This removes next private config:
- EVENT__NEED_DLLIMPORT
Because checking in cmake breaks cross-compiling.

v2: use waitid() with WNOWAIT
v3: use WNOWAIT only if it available in waitpid(), because not all netbsd
supports it
Before this patch for cmake we had:
#define EVENT__HAVE_ACCEPT4
/* #undef EVENT__HAVE_ARC4RANDOM */
While autotools has:
#define EVENT__HAVE_ACCEPT4 1
/* #undef EVENT__HAVE_ARC4RANDOM */
CheckSymbolExists do not do this, so add new CheckConstExists that will
use CheckCSourceCompiles() to check this.
v2: use set() instead of string(APPEND)
This reverts commit c4e9d9bd662de7f575f2172c160795d452ebe709
("sample/https-client: check for ERR_remove_thread_state() existence").
Calling AC_SEARCH_LIBS() modifies LIBS - -lcrypto incorrectly
ends up in LIBS, and thus linked to by libevent_core.so.
Checking for ERR_remove_thread_state should no longer be needed
because it was introduced in openssl 1.0.0, and the previous line
0.9.8 had support discontinued at the end of 2015.
Fixes: #473
- Remove a redundant check on netdb.h (EVENT__HAVE_NETDB_H).
- Properly setup EVENT__SIZEOF_SSIZE_T for the case where "ssize_t" is
not "int".
- Remove unused EVENT__HAVE_PTHREAD.
- Set EVENT__HAVE_LIBZ instead of EVENT__HAVE_ZLIB (and remove the
latter).
Closes: #391 (cherry-picked from PR)
According to solaris docs:
"One instance of a SIGCHLD signal is queued for each child process whose
status has changed. If waitpid() returns because the status of a child
process is available, and WNOWAIT was not specified in options, any pending
SIGCHLD signal associated with the process ID of that child process is
discarded. Any other pending SIGCHLD signals remain pending."
And interesting thing that it works if you add sleep(1) before waitpid(), and
also if you run with --verbose (some race or what).
But linux doesn't support WNOWAIT in waitpid() so add detection into
cmake/autotools.

Otherwise that #ifdef in visibility.h is useless, and __declspec(dllimport)
will be always on.

We had cmake and autoconf tests for the inet_aton function... but we
never actually use it any more.
(The autoconf tests still use the callability of inet_aton to decide
whether we need to link against -lresolv)
