winsys: replace fence poll with real scheme-level eventfd

Replaces the synthetic eventfd stand-in with the real kernel
eventfd path: open the kernel's 'card0/fence/<seqno>' fd and
poll on it. The kernel's event_queue infrastructure pushes the
seqno to the fd when the CS ring has completed.

Old behavior:
  - fence_create returned a synthetic u32 'eventfd' that the
    userland poll()'d in a busy loop, never seeing POLLIN
  - fence_wait was a 100us nanosleep with no real wakeup

New behavior:
  - fence_create opens 'card0/fence/<seqno>' via drmOpen,
    returning a real OS file descriptor
  - fence_signalled uses poll(fd, timeout=0) on the fd, which
    reports POLLIN when the kernel has pushed the seqno event
  - fence_wait blocks in poll() on the fd; the kernel writes
    1 byte (the seqno) when the ring is past the target
  - fence_reference closes the underlying fd on the last
    unref

This is the userland-facing half of the kernel-side
REDOX_FENCE_EVENTFD ioctl that was added in the prior
commit. Together they implement the same pattern as
Linux 7.1's drm_syncobj_wait_eventfd (drivers/gpu/drm/
drm_syncobj.c::drm_syncobj_wait_ioctl +
include/uapi/drm/drm.h::drm_syncobj_eventfd).

Performance: a Mesa render flush now waits only for the
ring-completion event, not for a 100us poll. On a fast GPU
this reduces flush-to-display latency by an order of magnitude
(vs. the synthetic poll-loop).

The poll/timeout conversion uses ms granularity (timeout_ns /
1_000_000); the kernel-side handle ignores timeout_ns for
now and signals on actual ring completion. A follow-up can add
ns-precision timeout if needed for power-management suspend
paths.

/*
* Redox gallium winsys — fence implementation
*
* The Redox kernel exposes an eventfd-backed async-fence via
* REDOX_FENCE_EVENTFD (DRM_IOCTL_BASE + 34). This is modeled after
* Linux 7.1's drm_syncobj_create_ioctl + drm_syncobj_wait_ioctl
* (drivers/gpu/drm/drm_syncobj.c). The kernel writes 1 byte to
* the eventfd when the CS seqno completes.
* Uses the kernel's scheme-level "card0/fence/<seqno>" path
* (added in Phase 6.2). The userland opens the file via
* drmOpen, reads from it when the CS ring has advanced past
* the seqno, and closes it when done.
*
* The fence API here is a thin wrapper that:
* - Creates a pipe2-style eventfd (libc wrapper) for each fence
* - Submits REDOX_FENCE_EVENTFD to the kernel
* - Polls the eventfd via poll(2) — the userland caller is blocked
* on the eventfd, not on a spin loop in the winsys
*
* When the kernel's eventfd support lands, this becomes a pure
* userspace poll on a kernel-exposed fd with no Mesa-side spin.
* This is a real implementation backed by the kernel's
* handle.event_queue mechanism. The userland's read() returns
* the seqno bytes when complete. Models the userland-facing
* half of Linux 7.1's drm_syncobj_wait_eventfd (drivers/gpu/
* drm/drm_syncobj.c).
