[issue10982] asyncore timeouts do not work correctly

[k1h]

New submission from k1h <k1h1861 at gmail.com>:

Asyncore for the versions of Python examined do not check for the empty sequences select.select returns to indicate a timeout.  The attached patch served my immediate needs, but no effort was made to verify that all scenarios were covered or that other issues weren't introduced.
