Fix cases where the internal poll() was not being used when it needed to be.

We have seen a number of problems caused by poll() not working properly on 
Mac OSX.  If you search around, you'll find a number of references to using 
select() instead of poll() to work around these issues.  In Asterisk, we've 
had poll.c which implements poll() using select() internally.  However, we 
were still getting reports of problems.

vadim investigated a bit and realized that at least on his system, even 
though we were compiling in poll.o, the system poll() was still being used.  
So, the primary purpose of this patch is to ensure that we're using the 
internal poll() when we want it to be used.

The changes are:

1) Remove logic for when internal poll should be used from the Makefile.  
   Instead, put it in the configure script.  The logic in the configure 
   script is the same as it was in the Makefile.  Ideally, we would have 
   a functionality test for the problem, but that's not actually possible, 
   since we would have to be able to run an application on the _target_ 
   system to test poll() behavior.

2) Always include poll.o in the build, but it will be empty if AST_POLL_COMPAT
   is not defined.

3) Change uses of poll() throughout the source tree to ast_poll().  I feel 
   that it is good practice to give the API call a new name when we are 
   changing its behavior and not using the system version directly in all cases.
   So, normally, ast_poll() is just redefined to poll().  On systems where 
   AST_POLL_COMPAT is defined, ast_poll() is redefined to ast_internal_poll().

4) Change poll() in main/poll.c to be ast_internal_poll().

It's worth noting that any code that still uses poll() directly will work fine 
(if they worked fine before).  So, for example, out of tree modules that are 
using poll() will not stop working or anything.  However, for modules to work 
properly on Mac OSX, ast_poll() needs to be used.

NAME
poll - select(2)-based poll() emulation function for BSD systems.
SYNOPSIS
#include "poll.h"
struct pollfd
{
int fd;
short events;
short revents;
}
int poll (struct pollfd *pArray, unsigned long n_fds, int timeout)
DESCRIPTION
This file, and the accompanying "poll.c", implement the System V
poll(2) system call for BSD systems (which typically do not provide
poll()). Poll() provides a method for multiplexing input and output
on multiple open file descriptors; in traditional BSD systems, that
capability is provided by select(). While the semantics of select()
differ from those of poll(), poll() can be readily emulated in terms
of select() -- which is how this function is implemented.
