[issue2006] asyncore loop lacks timers and work tasks

They're low-priority tasks that need to get run sometime, but aren't
associated with an input source.  In ILU, we had a function called
"do_soon", and you could call it with a function that should be called
sometime in the near future.

*writing a poller suitable with epoll and kqueue*

Christian's patch looks interesting, in that respect.  I haven't applied it
to a codebase yet.
