Fix busy-loop when waiting for file descriptors to close
When one thread is closing a file descriptor whilst another thread is concurrently reading it, we need to wait for the reading thread to be done with it to prevent a potential EBADF (or, worse, file descriptor reuse). At the moment, that is done by keeping a list of threads still using the file descriptor in io_close_fptr. It then continually calls rb_thread_schedule() in fptr_finalize_flush until said list is empty. That busy-looping seems to behave rather poorly on some OS's, particulary FreeBSD. It can cause the TestIO#test_race_gets_and_close test to fail (even with its very long 200 second timeout) because the closing thread starves out the using thread. To fix that, I introduce the concept of struct rb_io_close_wait_list; a list of threads still using a file descriptor that we want to close. We call `rb_notify_fd_close` to let the thread scheduler know we're closing a FD, which fills the list with threads. Then, we call rb_notify_fd_close_wait which will block the thread until all of the still-using threads are done. This is implemented with a condition variable sleep, so no busy-looping is required.
