Keith Packard 0c41b7af4a os: Add NotifyFd interfaces ...

This provides a callback-based interface to monitor file
descriptors beyond the usual client and device interfaces.

Modules within the server using file descriptors for reading and/or
writing can call

    Bool SetNotifyFd(int fd, NotifyFdProcPtr notify_fd, int mask, void *data);

mask can be any combination of X_NOTIFY_READ and X_NOTIFY_WRITE.

When 'fd' becomes readable or writable, the notify_fd function will be
called with the 'fd', the ready conditions and 'data' values as arguments,

When the module no longer needs to monitor the fd, it will call

    void RemoveNotifyFd(int fd);

RemoveNotifyFd may be called from the notify function.
