Subject: [PATCH 01/13] Add test for drivers spinning on streams their backend
 refuses

epoll and kqueue refuse /dev/null. IoPollDriver moves such streams to a
poll() context and treats them as always ready, which forces a zero
timeout on every tick. On macOS poll() never reports /dev/null as
ready, so the loop busy-waits without ever running the callback.

ext-uv refuses /dev/null outright, so UvDriver skips the test.

libevent passes on the EPERM of epoll_ctl() for /dev/null instead of

Subject: [PATCH 03/13] Run the tests on macOS and Windows with PHP 8.6

IoPollDriver uses kqueue on macOS and WSAPoll on Windows, which behave
differently from epoll. The event loop extensions are only installed on
Linux, and the style fixer only runs there.

Subject: [PATCH 04/13] Treat regular files and unpollable streams as always
 ready in IoPollDriver

Streams epoll or kqueue refuse were moved to a poll() context, but
treated as always ready regardless, forcing a zero timeout on every
tick. On macOS poll() never reports devices such as /dev/null, so the
loop busy-waited without ever invoking the callback.

The backends only refuse handles that never block, so they are now
tracked as always ready without a second context, and their callbacks
run on every tick, as stream_select() reports them. Only the errors for
handles that cannot be polled (EPERM from epoll, EINVAL from kqueue)
take that path, other failures to add a handle are thrown.

kqueue accepts regular files, but stops reporting them readable at EOF,
so a reader never saw the end, e.g. of STDIN redirected from a file.
Regular files are recognized by PHP's seekable flag, which PHP sets when
opening the stream, and treated as always ready as well.

ext-uv and libevent refuse regular files and /dev/null, so UvDriver and
EventDriver skip the tests for them.

Subject: [PATCH 05/13] Skip the stream memory leak tests for IoPollDriver with
 kqueue on 8.6.0RC4

The kqueue backend of Io\Poll leaks memory on every
Watcher::modifyEvents() in PHP 8.6.0RC4, see php/php-src#25086. Only the
onReadable and onWritable data sets modify watchers, the others still
run. Other versions and backends are tested as usual.

Subject: [PATCH 06/13] Skip the stream memory leak tests whenever kqueue
 leaks, not only on 8.6.0RC4

CI runs a PHP 8.6 development build, so the version check never
matched there. The onReadable and onWritable data sets of
testNoMemoryLeak are now marked skipped when they fail with kqueue,
see php/php-src#25086. They pass again on their own once PHP is fixed,
and every other data set and backend still fails as usual.

Subject: [PATCH 07/13] Leave room for oversleeping runners in the timeout
 tests

CI runners on macOS oversleep by more than the 0.1 seconds the upper
bounds allowed, for every driver. The bounds are now derived from the
bug each test guards against: the timer counted from activation after
blocking (1.5 seconds instead of 1), and the timer counted from the
tick start before blocking (1 second instead of 1.5), which the lower
bound already catches.

Subject: [PATCH 09/13] Don't pick IoPollDriver automatically on Windows

WSAPoll, the only Io\Poll backend on Windows, accepts pipes such as
STDOUT, but never reports them and returns from wait() immediately, so
callbacks on them never run and the loop spins. stream_select() handles
pipes, so StreamSelectDriver stays the default there for now.

The IoPollDriver tests are skipped on Windows, as they hang on the
callbacks on STDOUT.

Subject: [PATCH 10/13] Tolerate clock drift in the lower bound of the delay
 timeout test

The test measures with microtime(), the drivers schedule timers with
hrtime(). On Windows the timer fired 0.05 ms before 1.5 seconds by
microtime(). The sibling test already allows 0.5 ms for this.

Subject: [PATCH 11/13] Allow timers to fire up to 5 ms early in the timeout
 tests

EventDriver fired 0.56 ms early on Linux, beyond the 0.5 ms tolerance:
libevent works with millisecond timeouts and a cached clock. 5 ms covers
that and the clock drift on Windows, and is still far from the bugs the
tests guard against, which are off by half a second.

Subject: [PATCH 12/13] Address review: epoll refusal code, kqueue-only
 seekable check

- epoll's EPERM is reported as ERROR_NOSUPPORT since php/php-src#23805
  (8.6.0RC1), not ERROR_PERMISSION, so streams such as /dev/urandom
  threw on Linux instead of being treated as always ready.
- The spinning test uses /dev/urandom on Linux, where PHP flags
  /dev/null as seekable, so it never reached epoll and CI missed the
  wrong error code.
- The seekable check only applies with kqueue. On Linux seekable is
  also true for descriptors epoll can poll, such as eventfd, while
  epoll refuses regular files by itself. On macOS and BSD, PHP never
  flags pipes or devices as seekable.
