[PATCH draft 0/6] Remove the fhandler_base_overlapped class

fhandler_pipe is currently the only class derived from
fhandler_base_overlapped.  This patch series rewrites parts of
fhandler_pipe so that it can be derived from fhandler_base instead.
We can then simplify the code by removing fhandler_base_overlapped.

In particular, this gets rid of the peculiar situation in which a
non-blocking write can return with I/O pending, leading to the
ugliness in fhandler_base_overlapped::close.

I've marked these patches as drafts because I've undoubtedly
overlooked some things.  Also, I haven't systematically done any
regression tests.  I have, however, run all the sample pipe programs
in Kerrisk's book "The Linux Programming Interface: Linux and UNIX
System Programming Handbook".  I've also run emacs-X11, gdb, git,
make, etc., so far without problems.
