confdb: send notifications from the main thread not IPC thread

corosync-notifyd has exposed an issue with confdb notifications.

The normal state of affairs is:
IPC thread > lock > objdb > lock

objdb notification whilst really useful turn things around:
<middle of big call chain>
objdb > lock > confdb > ipc > lock

This reverse ordering of locks causes a horrible dead lock.

I see this patch as a work around until corosync-2.0
when most of the threads and locking disappear.

This patch adds a pipe to confdb service. When we get a
objdb notification a struct gets written to the pipe.
The poll loop then runs the dispatch in the main thread.
In the dispatch we call the real ipc_dispatch_send().
