The old polling message system is obsolete now that the worker messages
are implemented. The old system was only used to clean up the persistent
connection pool of a server.
Now the statistics is in a single structure and the property of the
Worker instance in question. Methods are provided for obtaining the
statistics of all workers in one go.
Just like the thread stats and poll stats earlier, the queue stats
are now moved to worker.
A litte refactoring still, and the polling will only work on local
data.
Each worker now has a separate structure for collecting the
polling statistics that is passed to epoll_waitevents(). When
the stats are asked for, we loop over all separate stats and
combine them. So, instead of having every statistics of each
thread one cacheline apart, each thread has all its statistics
in one lump that, for obvious reasons, are going to be apart.
The primary purpose of this excersize is to remove the hardwired
nature of the statistics collection. For instance, the admin
thread will be doing I/O but that I/O should not be included
in the statistics of the workers.
Now the epoll instance of the Worker is used when polling. The
work is still done in poll.cc and the worker provides the descriptor
and thread id.
The comments of poll_waitevents() have been removed; they were not
accurate anymore so better to let the code speak for itself.
The shutdown is now performed so that a shutdown message is
sent to all workers. When the workers receive that message, they
turn on a shutdown flag, which subsequently is checked in the poll
loop.
