[LTP] [PATCH 2/6] api/evloop: Add helpers for creating an event loop

Puts some of the boiler plate for creating an "event loop", into an
API. Useful for asynchronous or evented I/O.

This uses epoll and signalfd which are very widely supported on
Linux. I also think epoll is a better interface than ppoll and
pselect.

The tst_epoll_event_data struct (added in the previous commit) can be
used to add callbacks on particular FD events.

There is also a special callback for the signlfd and on_cont which is
called at the end of each loop. Returning 0 from these will cause the
loop to exit.
