SocketPal.Poll on Unix is currently implemented with select. This is causing problems due to limitations of select, which fails with file descriptors >= FD_SETSIZE. I've changed the implementation to use poll instead, which both fixes the problem and results in simpler code. I've also added a few tests, and in the process of doing so cleaned up some related tests to use theories.
This is blocking #6833, which in CI is frequently getting file descriptors for sockets larger than FD_SETSIZE.
