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.
