[zeromq-dev] CZMQ and Server and Client Sockets

[Doron Somech]

So my best version right now is to leave zmq_poll as was before the change,
to poll on thread safe sockets pollfd api must be used.
However the migrate to pollfd api should be pretty simple, as the polling
method signature is:

int zmq_pollfd_poll (void *p, zmq_pollitem_t *items, int nitems, long
timeout);

The method support both thread safe and regular sockets.

Right now the implementation is duplication of zmq_poll with some changes
to support pollfd, in the future once the pollfd will be stable we can
remove the redundant code.

You can take a look here:

https://github.com/somdoron/libzmq/commit/309c8d9a40b47de66541637638cad1ac1836d657

I also think that it would be smart to move zpoller from czmq to zeromq as
this is repeating in every binding implementation and the code is not
simple to implement. If it was part of zeromq making the polling on thread
safe sockets would become much easier and compatible without api changes.
