Fix busy-loop when waiting for file descriptors to close
When one thread is closing a file descriptor whilst another thread is
concurrently reading it, we need to wait for the reading thread to be
done with it to prevent a potential EBADF (or, worse, file descriptor
reuse).
At the moment, that is done by keeping a list of threads still using the
file descriptor in io_close_fptr. It then continually calls
rb_thread_schedule() in fptr_finalize_flush until said list is empty.
That busy-looping seems to behave rather poorly on some OS's,
particulary FreeBSD. It can cause the TestIO#test_race_gets_and_close
test to fail (even with its very long 200 second timeout) because the
closing thread starves out the using thread.
To fix that, I introduce the concept of struct rb_io_close_wait_list; a
list of threads still using a file descriptor that we want to close. We
call `rb_notify_fd_close` to let the thread scheduler know we're closing
a FD, which fills the list with threads. Then, we call
rb_notify_fd_close_wait which will block the thread until all of the
still-using threads are done.
This is implemented with a condition variable sleep, so no busy-looping
is required.
