[issue28087] macOS 12 poll syscall returns prematurely

Gregory P. Smith added the comment:

Please DO NOT REMOVE select.poll() on MacOS.  It is still useful.

Apple needs to live with their bug that they refuse to acknowledge by forcing developers to learn the special case that it now breaks in (0 fds).  We should not pretend that poll() does not exist as a result.

For reference about the details of the MacOS change they were stupid enough to force upon the world, see this comment - which links to the source of their bug in the "open" source side of their OS.
