gspawn: Port to g_poll() from select()
This removes the limitation of select() that only FDs with values lower than FD_SETSIZE can be used. Previously, if the out/err pipe FDs had high values (which could happen if a large process, like Firefox, was spawning subprocesses while having a lot of FDs open), GLib would abort due to an assertion failure in libc. Signed-off-by: Philip Withnall <withnall@endlessm.com> Fixes: #954
