Remove select(2) backed latch implementation.
Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de>
Remove select(2) backed latch implementation. poll(2) is required by Single Unix Spec v2, the usual baseline for postgres (leaving windows aside). There's not been any buildfarm animals without poll(2) for a long while, leaving the select(2) implementation to be largely untested. On windows, including mingw, poll() is not available, but we have a special case implementation for windows anyway.
