select: add pselect syscall

This is a straight port of @abbradar's work in nix-rust#276, with
two (somewhat weak) tests and a bit of documentation.

+/// Monitors file descriptors for readiness with an altered signal mask.
+///
+/// Returns the total number of ready file descriptors in all sets. The sets are changed so that all
+/// file descriptors that are ready for the given operation are set.
+///
+/// When this function returns, the original signal mask is restored.
+///
+/// Unlike [`select`](#fn.select), `pselect` does not mutate the `timeout` value.
+///
+/// # Parameters
+///
+/// * `nfds`: The highest file descriptor set in any of the passed `FdSet`s, plus 1. If `None`, this
+///   is calculated automatically by calling [`FdSet::highest`] on all descriptor sets and adding 1
+///   to the maximum of that.
+/// * `readfds`: File descriptors to check for read readiness
+/// * `writefds`: File descriptors to check for write readiness
+/// * `errorfds`: File descriptors to check for pending error conditions.
+/// * `timeout`: Maximum time to wait for descriptors to become ready (`None` to block
+///   indefinitely).
+/// * `sigmask`: Signal mask to activate while waiting for file descriptors to turn
+///    ready (`None` to set no alternative signal mask).
