RFR: 8266369: (se) Add wepoll based Selector

[Alan Bateman]

This PR proposes a new Selector implementation for the Windows platform based on the Bert Belder's "wepoll" library. The wepoll library provides a scalable polling interface to the Ancillary Function Driver for Winsock. The interface that it exposes is close to the Linux epoll interface. The main benefit is that the cost of selection operations are a function of the number of sockets that are ready for I/O rather than the number of channels registered with the Selector. The existing Selector on Windows uses the legacy "select" which scales horribly, partly because it's O(N) on the number of registered channels and partly because it is limited to 1024 sockets and so requires a thread per 1024 sockets.

The patch brings the wepoll sources into the repo, adds a small shim, and the Selector implementation itself. The new implementation needs to handle OOB data in the same way as the old implementation so the method to discard OOB moves to Net.

I've added a microbenchmark to demonstrate the scaling when there is 1, 10, ... 10k connections and one socket ready for I/O. Windows Server 2019 was used for the data here. I've seen improvements with almost everything that I've tried. The only exception is a select after a wakeup where the old implementation skips the selection operation (arguably a long standing bug in the old implementation).

Existing select based Selector where the selection operation is almost 1ms when there are 10,000 channels registered.

Replacing the Selector implementation after 19 years of service is a big step. The proposal is to leave the existing implementation until there is confidence with the new implementation. It also serves as a backup in case Windows were to significantly change the AFD interface. The old Selector can be used by running with -Djava.nio.channels.spi.SelectorProvider=sun.nio.ch.WindowsSelectorProvider. A selection of existing tests have been updated to run a second time with the old Selector so that it is continues to be tested.

CSR and Release Note planned.
