Until now, the program

  import System.IO
  main = hWaitForInput stdin (5 * 1000)

didn't wait 5 seconds for input on Winodws, it terminated immediately.

This was because the `PeekNamedPipe()` function introduced in commit
94fee9e7 really only peeks, it doesn't block.  So if there's no data,
`fdReady(fd, msec)` would return immediately even when the given `msec`
timeout is not zero.

This commit fixes it by looping around `PeekNamedPipe()` with a `sleep(1
ms)`.

Apparently there's no better way to do this on Windows without switching
to IOCP.

In any case, this change should be strictly better than what was there
before.
