Subject: [RFC PATCH 09/11] trace-cmd: Use poll(2) to wait for a message

Use poll(2) to wait for a message. If a client/server cannot send a message for
any reasons, the current server/client will wait in a blocking read operation.
So, we use poll(2) for avoiding remaining in a blocking state.

This modification avoids to try to connect to an old-version client. An
old-version network server will send a message "tracecmd" first, and an
old-version client will start to send cpu number, pagesize, and option.
By introducing trace-msg, the new client sends a message "MSG_TCONNECT" first,
so the start point of the connection is different. If the old client tries
to connect to the new network server, the server should make the connection
close. A server applied this patch will die when the predetermined time will
have elapsed.

Note that if a new client tries to connect to an old server, the new client
will automatically die. This is because the new client which received the
inappropriate message "tracecmd" will die.
