Solution: Provide poll() for Windows as well. This is a build option that
defaults to off as the resulting binary will only run on Windows Vista or
newer.

This is not tested with alternative Winsock service providers like VMCI,
but the documentation for WSAPoll does not mention limitations.

On my local machine, throughput improves by ~10 % (20 simultaneous
remote_thr workes to one local_thr, 10 byte messages), while latency
improves by ~30 % (measured with remote/local_lat).
