See if SA_RESTART signals will interrupt select().

On some platforms (at least older HP-UXes such as 11.11, possibly others)
setting SA_RESTART on signal handers will cause it to not interrupt
select(), at least for calls that do not specify a timeout.  Try to
detect this and if found, don't use SA_RESTART.

POSIX says "If SA_RESTART has been set for the interrupting signal, it
is implementation-dependent whether select() restarts or returns with
[EINTR]" so this behaviour is within spec.
