MDEV-14945 possible buffer overflow in stack resolver
According to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22827510/how-to-avoid-bad-fd-set-buffer-overflow-crash it seems that using select instead of poll can cause additional memory allocations. As we are in a crashed state, we must prevent allocating any memory (if possible). Thus, switch select call to poll. Also move some bigger datastructures to global space. The code is not run in a multithreaded context so best we don't use up stack space if it's not needed.
