utf8.RuneLen returns -1 for an invalid rune. In that case we
need to extend the internal buffer at least by 3 for \uFFFD.

The original test would open a local port and then immediately close it
and use the port number in subsequent tests. Between the port being closed
and reused by the later process, it could be opened by some other program
on the machine.

Changed the test to run the server process directly and have it save the
assigned port to a text file to be used by client processes.

Request ID reuse is allowed by the FastCGI spec [1]. In particular nginx uses
the same request ID, 1, for all requests on a given connection. Because
serveRequest does not remove the request from conn.requests, this causes it to
treat the second request as a duplicate and drops the connection immediately
after beginRequest. This manifests with nginx option 'fastcgi_keep_conn on' as
the following message in nginx error log:

2014/03/17 01:39:13 [error] 730#0: *109 recv() failed (104: Connection reset by peer) while reading response header from upstream, client: x.x.x.x, server: example.org, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://127.0.0.1:9001", host: "example.org"

Because handleRecord and serveRequest run in different goroutines, access to
conn.requests must now be synchronized.

The problem was that spans end up in wrong lists after split
(e.g. in h->busy instead of h->central->empty).
Also the span can be non-swept before split,
I don't know what it can cause, but it's safer to operate on swept spans.

The Solaris network poller uses event ports, which are
level-triggered. As such, it has to re-arm itself after each
wakeup. The arming mechanism (which runs in its own thread) raced
with the closing of a file descriptor happening in a different
thread. When a network file descriptor is about to be closed,
the network poller is awaken to give it a chance to remove its
association with the file descriptor. Because the poller always
re-armed itself, it raced with code that closed the descriptor.

This change makes the network poller check before re-arming if
the file descriptor is about to be closed, in which case it will
ignore the re-arming request. It uses the per-PollDesc lock in
order to serialize access to the PollDesc.

This change also adds extensive documentation describing the
Solaris implementation of the network poller.

Fixes #7410.
