select() ran on the CPU thread with the guest's timeout (5.5 seconds when it
gave none), so the whole emulator stopped for as long as it waited. The VSH's
Skype uses select() with no sockets as a sleep, 0.65-0.95 s at a time, and ran
at a crawl: almost no emulated time passed, and the UI barely moved.
Now the sockets are checked without blocking. If none is ready, the thread
waits and a CoreTiming event polls again every millisecond until one is, or
the timeout runs out in emulated time. A null timeout now waits for as long as
it takes. Pending waits are saved in savestates.
