Daniel P. Berrange 1c809fa01d io: add helper module for creating watches on FDs
A number of the channel implementations will require the
ability to create watches on file descriptors / sockets.
To avoid duplicating this code in each channel, provide a
helper API for dealing with file descriptor watches.

There are two watch implementations provided. The first
is useful for bi-directional file descriptors such as
sockets, regular files, character devices, etc. The
second works with a pair of unidirectional file descriptors
such as pipes.
