unix,win: replace QUEUE with struct uv__queue (#4022)

Recent versions of gcc have started emitting warnings about the liberal
type casting inside the QUEUE macros. Although the warnings are false
positives, let's use them as the impetus to switch to a type-safer and
arguably cleaner approach.

src: fix events/events_waiting metrics counter (#3957)

The worker pool calls all callbacks locally within the queue. So the
value of nevents doesn't properly reflect that case. Increase the number
of events directly from the worker pool's callback to correct this.

In order to properly determine if the events_waiting counter needs to be
incremented, store the timeout value at the time the event provider was
called.

src: add new metrics APIs (#3749)

The following metrics are now always recorded and available via the new
uv_metrics_info() API.

* loop_count: Number of event loop iterations.
* events: Total number of events processed by the event handler.
* events_waiting: Total number of events waiting in the event queue when
the event provider request was made.

Benchmarking has shown no noticeable impact recording these metrics.

core: add API to measure event loop idle time

The API addition `uv_metrics_idle_time()` is a thread safe call that
allows the user to retrieve the amount of time the event loop has spent
in the kernel's event provider (i.e. poll). It was done this way to
allow retrieving this value without needing to interrupt the execution
of the event loop. This option can be enabled by passing
`UV_METRICS_IDLE_TIME` to `uv_loop_configure()`.

One important aspect of this change is, when enabled, to always first
call the event provider with a `timeout == 0`. This allows libuv to know
whether any events were waiting in the event queue when the event
provider was called. The importance of this is because libuv is tracking
the amount of "idle time", not "poll time". Thus the provider entry time
is not recorded when `timeout == 0` (the event provider never idles in
this case).

While this does add a small amount of overhead, when enabled, but the
overhead decreases when the event loop has a heavier load. This is
because poll events will be waiting when the event provider is called.
Thus never actually recording the provider entry time.

Checking if `uv_loop_t` is configured with `UV_METRICS_IDLE_TIME` always
happens in `uv__metrics_set_provider_entry_time()` and
`uv__metrics_update_idle_time()`. Making the conditional logic wrapping
each call simpler and allows for instrumentation to always hook into
those two function calls.

Rather than placing the fields directly on `uv__loop_internal_fields_t`
add the struct `uv__loop_metrics_t` as a location for future metrics API
additions.

Tests and additional documentation has been included.

posix: fix uv__pollfds_del() for invalidated fd's

Fix bug in `uv__pollfds_del()` where only one invalidated fd is purged.
Calls to `uv__platform_invalidate_fd()` will invalidate descriptors
(rather than removing them) when `poll()` is iterating. Under stressful
conditions, this may happen more frequently than `uv__pollfds_del()` is
called. So, when uv__pollfds_del() is called with a value of -1, it
should iterate the entire array to remove all invalidated descriptors.
