fds.h will centralize logic around working with file descriptors. In
particular it will be the new home for logic around moving fds to high
unused values, replacing the "avoid conflicts" logic.
In preparation for fixing #7559, add a function poke_item to fd_monitor.
fd_monitor has a list of file descriptors, and invokes a callback when an
fd becomes readable. With this change, we assign each item a unique ID and
return it when the item is added; the ID may then be used to invoke the
callback explicitly.
The idea is that we can stop reading from the pipe associated with the
cmdsub when the job is finished, even if the pipe is still open.
fd_monitor is a new class which can monitor a set of fds, waiting for them
to become readable. When an fd becomes readable, a callback is invoked.
Timeouts are also supported.
This is intended to replace the "bufferfill" threads. Rather than one
thread per bufferfill, we will have a single fd_monitor which can service
multiple bufferfills. This helps today with nested command substitutions,
and will help in the future with concurrent execution.
