Introduce an adaptive delay into the main loop to prevent select buzzing.
When select(2) returns too fast with only small amounts of data, the main loop will buzz and eat power - a significant issue on, e.g. battery-powered RasPi devices, where it was first spotted. This code watches read volume and delays when it sees lots of small bursts. All regressiion tests pass. But note: the adaptive-delay logic has to suppress delays to arrange this, otherwise we get an all too familiar class of spurious test failure.
