Add a new file descriptor watch API.
This API can be used from any task from which
SequencedTaskRunnerHandle::Get() returns a SequencedTaskRunner (i.e. in
particular, it can be used from SINGLE_THREADED and SEQUENCED tasks
running in base/task_scheduler). As opposed to the existing API which
is only available from single-threaded tasks running in a
MessageLoopForIO.
Threads that want to support this API must instantiate a
FileDescriptorWatcher. The constructor of FileDescriptorWatcher takes
as argument a MessageLoopForIO to use to watch file descriptors for
which callbacks are registered on the thread on which it is invoked. The
MessageLoopForIO does *not* have to run on that thread. When the
MessageLoopForIO detects that watched file descriptors are readable
and/or writable without blocking, it posts a task to run the callback on
the sequence on which it was registered.
