Change subject: socket: add function to wait until a socket becomes writeable
......................................................................


Patch Set 7:

I don't understand why we a) need a new function in the library and b) introduce functions for blocking semantics in a codebase that's entirely non-blocking and asynchronous event processing.

When the non-blocking connect() fails, the associated file descriptor should receive a notification, which is processed by libosmocore/select.c and dispatched via poll_disp_fds() to the user application registered callback.  In that callback, the user application should be able to get the error status using the getsockopt stated here.  All async, no new libosmocore function needed.  Am I missing something?

Whihc of the POLL* flags is (or are) set in that situation? libosmocore select main loop allows to set POLLIN, POLLHUP, POLLERR, POLLOUT, POLLPRI.
