When using config.h, it must be the very first include in all source
files since it contains #define that may change the compilation process
(eg libc structure layout changes when it's used to enable large file
support on 32 bit x86 archs). This commit adds it at the beginning
of all .c and .cpp files
The use of epoll in the client is totally overkill in terms of
scalability, and its a problem for portability. The OSX port converts
this to use select, but keeps some of the old complexities in the code.
This new patch makes it simpler and look much more like the windows
code.
The process loop is responsible for: 1) waiting for events 2) timers 3) events queue for
actions that should be performed in the context of the thread and are pushed from other threads.
The benefits:
1) remove duplicity: till now, there was one implementaion of events loop for the channels and
another one for the main thread.
2) timers can be executed on each thread and not only on the main thread.
3) events can be pushed to each thread and not only to the main thread.
In this commit, only the main thread was modified to use the new process loop.
