Back in the day I wrote comments in a really unusual way. Nowadays it
makes my eyes bleed, and clang-format doesn't know how to deal with it.

timer_again test makes an implicit assumption on the triggering
timing of a repeating timer. However, this assumption may be not
true on slower or virtualized architecture due to delay accumulation,
which may fail the test as show in [0].
This commit makes explicit checks conforming to the asserted behavior.

This commit changes the libuv API to return error codes directly rather
than storing them in a loop-global field.
A code snippet like this one:
if (uv_foo(loop) < 0) {
uv_err_t err = uv_last_error(loop);
fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", uv_strerror(err));
}
Should be rewritten like this:
int err = uv_foo(loop);
if (err < 0)
fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", uv_strerror(err));
The rationale for this change is that it should make creating bindings
for other languages a lot easier: dealing with struct return values is
painful with most FFIs and often downright buggy.
This changes the prototype of uv_run() from:
int uv_run(uv_loop_t* loop);
To:
int uv_run(uv_loop_t* loop, uv_run_mode mode);
Where `mode` is UV_RUN_DEFAULT, UV_RUN_ONCE or UV_RUN_NOWAIT.
Fixes#683.
This commit changes how the event loop determines if it needs to stay alive.
Previously, an internal counter was increased whenever a handle got created
and decreased again when the handle was closed.
While conceptually simple, it turned out hard to work with: you often want
to keep the event loop alive only if the handle is actually doing something.
Stopped or inactive handles were a frequent source of hanging event loops.
That's why this commit changes the reference counting scheme to a model where
a handle only references the event loop when it's active. 'Active' means
different things for different handle types, e.g.:
* timers: ticking
* sockets: reading, writing or listening
* processes: always active (for now, subject to change)
* idle, check, prepare: only active when started
This commit also changes how the uv_ref() and uv_unref() functions work: they
now operate on the level of individual handles, not the whole event loop.
The Windows implementation was done by Bert Belder.
