[PATCH] Refactor common code from nscd's two main poll loops.


Team,

While working on some nscd issues I caused myself some grief
by not noticing that we have quite a bit of duplicate code
in both the main_loop_poll and main_loop_epoll functions.

This patch does two things:
(1) Adds more comments.
(2) Refactors two chunks of identical code out of the 
    two main poll loops.

The resulting code is easier to review and maintain.

No regressions on x86-64, tested the resulting nscd locally
with no issues. Verified that the produced object files
show both functions inlined into main_loop_*poll and
equivalent object code produced.

OK to checkin?
