[sane-devel] Use poll() instead of select() in backends

[m. allan noah]

Given that poll() is reported to be flaky on certain versions of OSX,
we need to at least keep select() as an option. saned.c has a private
poll() implementation which uses select, perhaps it could be
re-used/extended somewhere in sanei, for those platforms that need it?
