So ... what would you say to replacing epoll_create() with
epoll_create1(EPOLL_CLOEXEC) ? Then a WaitEventSet would not
represent inheritable-across-exec resources on any platform,
making it a lot easier to deal with the EXEC_BACKEND case.
AFAIK, both APIs are Linux-only, and epoll_create1() is not much
newer than epoll_create(), so it seems like we'd not be giving up
much portability if we insist on epoll_create1.
