Hi,

If you trigger the new optional NetBSD CI task, the oauthvalidator
tests implode[1].  Apparently that OS's kevent() doesn't like zero
relative timeouts for EVFILT_TIMER[2].  I see that you worked around
the same problem for Linux timerfd already by rounding 0 up to 1, so
we could just do the same here, and it passes with the attached.  A
cute alternative, not tested, might be to put NOTE_ABSTIME into fflag
if timeout == 0 (then it's an absolute time in the past, which should
fire immediately).

But I'm curious, how hard would it be to do this ↓ instead and not
have that problem on any OS?

     * There might be an optimization opportunity here: if timeout == 0, we
     * could signal drive_request to immediately call
     * curl_multi_socket_action, rather than returning all the way up the
     * stack only to come right back. But it's not clear that the additional
     * code complexity is worth it.
