Andres Freund 4bad60e3fd Allow latches to wait for socket writability without waiting for readability. 
So far WaitLatchOrSocket() required to pass in WL_SOCKET_READABLE as
that solely was used to indicate error conditions, like EOF. Waiting
for WL_SOCKET_WRITEABLE would have meant to busy wait upon socket
errors.

Adjust the API to signal errors by returning the socket as readable,
writable or both, depending on WL_SOCKET_READABLE/WL_SOCKET_WRITEABLE
being specified.  It would arguably be nicer to return WL_SOCKET_ERROR
but that's not possible on platforms and would probably also result in
more complex callsites.

This previously had explicitly been forbidden in e42a21b9e6, as
there was no strong use case at that point. We now are looking into
making FE/BE communication use latches, so changing this makes sense.

There also are some portability concerns because there cases of older
platforms where select(2) is known to, in violation of POSIX, not
return a socket as writable after the peer has closed it.  So far the
platforms where that's the case provide a working poll(2). If we find
one where that's not the case, we'll need to add a workaround for that
platform.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
