Don't call pthread_join() to join a thread from a different
process than the thread was created in. Doing so can lead to
undefined behaviour.
On OpenBSD, the symptom was a pulseaudio process with a single
thread waiting forever for other threads to join. Since that
process also held the autospawn lock, starting new pulseaudio
processes with --start kept failing. The problem was analyzed
with help from Philip Guenther.
This patch adds a pa_thread_free_nojoin() function which can
be used to free resources for a thread without a join, as
suggested by Tanu Kaskinen.

Instead <pulsecore/poll.h> should be included. That file includes poll.h on
platform where it is appropriate. Also remove some unnecessary <ioctl.h>
includes.
Even on 10.5.8, poll() does not do the right thing. Haven't checked on
newer versions. Hence, wrap all occurences of poll() to pa_poll and
emulate that call with select() on OSX. This is totally embarassing.
