Tobias Brunner ba9228ab00 watcher: Change handling of POLLERR and remove WATCHER_EXCEPT
We can't actually explicitly listen for errors by passing POLLERR in
`events` (the man page for poll() clearly states it's ignored).  On the
other hand, POLLERR can be returned for any FD and, even worse, it might
be the only event indicated.

The latter caused an infinite loop as we didn't notify the callback nor
clear the error by calling `getsockopt(..., SOL_SOCKET, SO_ERROR, ...)`.
And while the latter would be able to reset the state to break the loop,
it seems to leave the FD in a defunct state where no further events will
be returned by poll().  Notifying the callback works better (the error
is then reported by e.g. recvfrom()) and automatically happened already
if POLLERR was returned together with e.g. POLLIN.

So we now treat POLLERR like the other error indicators we handle (POLLHUP
and POLLINVAL) and just notify the callbacks.

Tobias Brunner 7c657e78ff watcher: Avoid logging on level 1 while holding the mutex
This could be problematic in case loggers in some way rely on watcher_t
themselves.  This particular log message should rarely occur if at all,
but still avoid holding the mutex.

Martin Willi 5ea627bdfa watcher: Add a method to query the watcher state
This allows a user to check if the watcher is actually running, and potentially
perform read operations directly instead of relying on watcher.
