sd-event: split run into prepare/wait/dispatch
This will allow sd-event to be integrated into an external event loop, which in turn will allow (say) glib-based applications to use our various libraries, without manually integrating each of them (bus, rtnl, dhcp, ...). The external event-loop should integrate sd-event int he following way: Every iteration must start with a call to sd_event_prepare(), which will return 0 if no event sources are ready to be processed, a positive value if they are and a negative value on error. sd_event_prepare() may only be called following sd_event_dispatch(); a call to sd_event_wait() indicating that no sources are ready to be dispatched; or a failed call to sd_event_dispatch() or sd_event_wait(). A successful call to sd_event_prepare() indicating that no event sources are ready to be dispatched must be followed by a call to sd_event_wait(), which will return 0 if it timed out without event sources being ready to be processed, a negative value on error and a positive value otherwise. sd_event_wait() may only be called following a successful call to sd_event_prepare() indicating that no event sources are ready to be dispatched. If sd_event_wait() indicates that some events sources are ready to be dispatched, it must be followed by a call to sd_event_dispatch(). This is the only time sd_event_dispatch() may be called.
