Handle EINTR from recvmsg in _xcb_in_read

Martin Dørum requested to merge mort/libxcb:master into master

I have a GTK application which occasionally crashes with an "interrupted system call" g_message from gdk. After a lot of debugging, I've found that the call to recvmsg in _xcb_in_read occasionally fails with EINTR, and instead of retrying the system call, xcb would just shut down the connection.

This change makes _xcb_in_read treat EINTR the same as it would treat EAGAIN; it returns 1 and libX11 ends up calling xcb_poll_for_event again (from what I have understood).

I have spoken with a few people who think recvmsg failing with EINTR in this case shouldn't ever happen, and I don't know enough to agree or disagree with that. In case anyone wants to dig further and try to figure out why the recvmsg call sometimes fails with EINTR, here's the backtrace from inside of _xcb_in_read where that happened:

Thread 1 "beanbar" hit Breakpoint 1, _xcb_in_read (c=c@entry=0x55ecbe4aba80) at xcb_in.c:1059
1059                fprintf(stderr, "Hello World am %s:%i, errno is %s\n", __FILE__, __LINE__, strerror(errno));

The source code for the application which produced the above stack trace, and which repeatedly crashes without this patch, is here: https://github.com/mortie/beanbar (specifically, commit 5e85007fac0ea1532d3d46f2cf56e40f8406c731).
