base: Fix fdReady() returning immediately for pipes on Windows.
See https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13497#comment:17 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.
