Starting to allow for >1 implementation of pollset within a binary.
Do so without requiring an extra allocation for completion queues (which
we could not tolerate).
- cleanup: change grpc_iomgr_cb_func to take a bool instead of int
success
- cleanup: follow through with iomgr callback scheduling functions
- prepare: add a workqueue to offload to to grpc_exec_ctx_enqueue*
functions
Currently, if two threads call grpc_completion_queue_pluck on the same
completion queue for different tags, there is a 50% chance that we
deliver the completion wakeup to the wrong poller - forcing the correct
poller to wait until its polling times out before it can return an event
up to the application.
This change tweaks our polling interfaces so that we can indeed wake a
specific poller.
Nothing has been performance tuned yet. It's definitely sub-optimal in a
number of places. Wakeup file-descriptors should be recycled. We should
have a path that avoids calling poll() followed by epoll(). We can
probably live without it right at the second though.
This code will fail on Windows at least (I'll do that port when I'm in the office and have a Windows
machine).
Fixed any exposed bugs across the stack.
Add a poll() based implementation. Heavily leverages pollset infrastructure to allow small polls to be the norm. Exposes a mechanism to plug in epoll/kqueue for platforms where we have them.
Simplify iomgr callbacks to return one bit of success or failure (instead of the multi valued result that was mostly unused previously). This will ease the burden on new implementations, and the previous system provided no real value anyway.
Removed timeouts on endpoint read/write routines. This simplifies porting burden by providing a more orthogonal interface, and the functionality can always be replicated when desired by using an alarm combined with endpoint_shutdown. I'm fairly certain we ended up with this interface because it was convenient to do from libevent.
Things that need attention still:
- adding an fd to a pollset is O(n^2) - but this is probably ok given that we'll not
use this for multipolling once platform specific implementations are added.
- we rely on the backup poller too often - especially for SSL handshakes and for client
connection establishment we should have a better mechanism ([] []
- Linux needs to use epoll for multiple fds, FreeBSD variants (including
Darwin) need to use kqueue. ([] []
- Linux needs to use eventfd for poll kicking. ([]

Fold endpoint interface into iomgr, move secure_endpoint into security/.
This will make it easier for endpoint to rely on some iomgr defined types (like
pollset).

Removed bad format test to fix gpr_string_test.
Also took care of some of the MS compiler warnings when compiling gpr_test_util.
