Changes for version 0.50
- Added IO::Async::File
- Added filename mode of IO::Async::FileStream
- Make Heap dependency optional by reimplementing a tiny but less efficient version of TimeQueue using a plain array
- No longer need MB-only Build.PL
- BUGFIXES:
- Round up select() and poll() timeouts to nearest milisecond, might help correct wait-time vs. gettimeofday() mismatches
- Fake read- and write-readiness of S_ISREG filehandles in select() on MSWin32
- select() for exceptional status on MSWin32 to check for connect() failures
- Don't unit-test that getsockname() works on socketpair()ed sockets
