[Tile-serving] [openstreetmap/mod_tile] Replace select() by poll(). (#208)

[rainerjung]

select() has a well-known limit and the maximum file descriptor
that can be used (FD_SETSIZE). On Linux it is in most cases 1024.

Our renderd uses a lot of planet tiff files, so it had already
more than 1600 FDs for tiff files open. That means any new FD gets a
number bigger than that and using such FDs in select() leads to crashes
(because select() uses a fixed size bitmap).

The same can happen in mod_tile if the surounding web server is very
busy, altough it is less likely to happen there.

Changes in src/mod_tile.c:
- include poll.h
- poll timeout is an int containing miliseconds
- use "s > 0" instead of "s == 1" as success
  (although it should never be >1)
- different log message for timeout and error case

Changes in src/daemon.c:
- remove include for sys/select.h
- replace connections array by new array pfd used in poll()
- include special FDs (exit and listen) at index 0 and 1 in this array
- no longer reorganize array while iteratig through it.
  That would have led to items being skipped.
  Instead mark array slots with fixed connections with
  a negative FD. These are automatically skipped by poll.
  Reuse these slots later when new connections come in.
- rename num_connections to num_cslots (initial segment
  of the array that poll() should check) and
  num_conns (number of slots in this segment, that are
  actually used by connections; this number is only
  used in logging).
- slightly enhance debug log lines
