Here's a sketch of the first idea.  I also coded up the second idea
(basically: when nevents > 1, behave as though the latch has been set
every time through the loop, and then also check for
WL_SOCKET_ACCEPT), but I'm not sure I like it (it's less clear to
read, harder to explain, and I'm also interested in exploring
alternative ways to receive signals other than with handlers that set
these flags so I'm not sure I like baking in the assumption that we
can test the flags without having received a corresponding event).
I'm going to be AFK for a day or so and I'd like to see if we can
collect some more evidence about this and maybe repro first so I'll
wait for a bit.
