Fixed: When a signal was caught awaiting for an event using Curl_select()
or Curl_poll() with a non-zero timeout both functions would restart the specified timeout. This could even lead to the extreme case that if a signal arrived with a frecuency lower to the specified timeout neither function would ever exit. Added experimental symbol definition check CURL_ACKNOWLEDGE_EINTR in Curl_select() and Curl_poll(). When compiled with CURL_ACKNOWLEDGE_EINTR defined both functions will return as soon as a signal is caught. Use it at your own risk, all calls to these functions in the library should be revisited and checked before fully supporting this feature.
