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.

This is stuff that it's easy to get wrong (as I noticed when writing
bench_http), and that takes up a fair amount of space (see http.c).
Also, it's something that we'll eventually want to abstract to use
IOCP, where available.

This way we don't expose more of a bufferevent than we need to. One
motivation is to make it easier to automatically get deferred callbacks
with a bufferevent without exposing the deferred_cb structure.

The new bufferevent_pair abstraction works like a set of buferevent_sockets
connected by a socketpair, except that it doesn't require a socketpair,
and therefore doesn't need to get the kernel involved.
It's also a good way to make sure that deferred callbacks work. It's a good
use case for deferred callbacks: before I implemented them, the recursive
relationship between the evbuffer callback and the read callback would
make the unit tests overflow the stack.

a) this is 2009
b) niels and nick have been comaintainers for a while
c) saying "all rights reserved" when you then go on to explicitly
disclaim some rights is sheer cargo-cultism.
