ev: implement blocking I/O fallback
The ev module provides an event loop. Use [[newloop]] to create an event loop, and [[finish]] to finalize it. You may add external I/O sources via functions like [[register]] and [[unregister]]. On Linux, ev is implemented with epoll. Note that, on Linux, I/O on regular files is always blocking.
