global_init: assume the EINTR bit by default
- Removed from global_init since it isn't thread-safe. The symbol will still remain to not break compiles, it just won't have any effect going forward. - make the internals NOT loop on EINTR (the opposite from previously). It only risks returning from the select/poll/wait functions early, and that should be risk-free. Closes #4840
