Right now, the main loop is not interrupted when data arrives on a
socket. To fix this, register each socket to interrupt the main loop
with WSAEventSelect. This does not replace select, it only communicates
a change in socket state that requires a select call.
Since the interrupt fires only once per recv call, or only once
after a send call returns EWOULDBLOCK we can activate it on all events
unconditionally. If QEMU is momentarily uninterested on some condition,
the main loop will not busy wait. Instead, it may get one extra wakeup,
but then it will ignore the condition until progress occurs and/or
qemu_set_fd_handler is called to set a callback. At this point the
condition will be tested via select and the callback will be invoked
even if it is still disabled on the event.

In some cases initializing the alarm timers can lead to non-negligable
overhead from programs that link against qemu-tool.o. At least,
setting a max-resolution WinMM alarm timer via mm_start_timer() (the
current default for Windows) can increase the "tick rate" on Windows
OSs and affect frequency scaling, and in the case of tools that run
in guest OSs such has qemu-ga, the impact can be fairly dramatic
(+20%/20% user/sys time on a core 2 processor was observed from an idle
Windows XP guest).
This patch doesn't address the issue directly (not sure what a good
solution would be for Windows, or what other situations it might be
noticeable), but it at least limits the scope of the issue to programs
that "opt-in" to using the main-loop.c functions by only enabling alarm
timers when qemu_init_main_loop() is called, which is already required
to make use of those facilities, so existing users shouldn't be
affected.

Using the main loop code from QEMU enables tools to operate fully
asynchronously. Advantages include better Windows portability (for some
definition of portability) over glib's.
