New file descriptor watch API (POSIX)

On POSIX, the FILE thread runs a MessageLoopForIO. Tasks running on this thread can thus register watchers that are notified when file descriptors become readable or writable without blocking.

As you probably already know, we plan to migrate the FILE thread to base/task_scheduler. base/task_scheduler threads don't run a MessageLoopForIO. We would like your opinion on the following doc which explains how we plan to allow watching file descriptors from base/task_scheduler: New file descriptor watch API (POSIX) [1].

Thanks!

The base/task_scheduler team

Thanks for sharing the writeup. btw, there is no explicit approval required or anything, so if there are no further points raised than the comments on the doc that you got so far, feel free to move forward with the implementation!
