Move awaitEvent into a proper IOManager API

and have the scheduler use it.

Previously the scheduler calls awaitEvent directly, and awaitEvent is
implemented directly in the RTS I/O managers (select, win32). This
relies on the old scheme where there's a single active I/O manager for
each platform and RTS way.

We want to move that to go via an API in IOManager.{h,c} which can then
call out to the active I/O manager.

Also take the opportunity to split awaitEvent into two. The existing
awaitEvent has a bool wait parameter, to say if the call should be
blocking or non-blocking. We split this into two separate functions:
pollCompletedTimeoutsOrIO and awaitCompletedTimeoutsOrIO. We split them
for a few reasons: they have different post-conditions (specifically the
await version is supposed to guarantee that there are threads runnable
when it completes). Secondly, it is also anticipated that in future I/O
managers the implementations of the two cases will be simpler if they
are separated.
