CEventLoop: Add wake(), a mechanism for waking up when blocked in select().

This patch generalizes the concept used in Piano to wake up the event loop
so it can react to something happening on a secondary thread.
Basically, there's a pipe who is always part of the file descriptor set we
pass to select(), and calling wake() simply writes a little to that pipe.
