Upstream commit 5b3b468 (nc: use poll() instead of select()) changed `nc` to use poll(2) instead of select(2), obviously. In busybox-w32 select(2) had already been hacked to support `nc`. To avoid hacking poll(2) too the upstream change was reverted (c2002ea). Later `nc` was altered to include the code for both poll and select (3c85cc0). Make the changes necessary for poll(2) to work with `nc` on Windows. These are all in the function windows_compute_revents(). Treat a character file that isn't a console as a normal file. Without this `nc 127.0.0.1 1234 </dev/null` doesn't work. Return 0 instead of POLLHUP if GetNumberOfConsoleInputEvents() indicates no events are available. Without this communication between two instances of `nc` which are both using keyboard input isn't as asynchronous as one would like. Only process key press events: key releases are ignored. Without this `nc 127.0.0.1 1234` won't receive anything from the server until the local user presses a key. In the default case, which now includes disk files and character files, detect polling for reads as well as writes. Without this `nc 127.0.0.1 1234 <local_file` doesn't work.
