dataplane: add event loop

Outside the safety of the global mutex we need to poll on file
descriptors.  I found epoll(2) is a convenient way to do that, although
other options could replace this module in the future (such as an
AioContext-based loop or glib's GMainLoop).

One important feature of this small event loop implementation is that
the loop can be terminated in a thread-safe way.  This allows QEMU to
stop the data plane thread cleanly.
