Subject: [PATCH 1/2] evwatch: Add "prepare" and "check" watchers.

Adds two new callbacks: "prepare" watchers, which fire immediately
before we poll for I/O, and "check" watchers, which fire immediately
after we finish polling and before we process events. This allows other
event loops to be embedded into libevent's, and enables certain
performance monitoring.

Closes: #710

+/**
+  An approximate histogram in constant space, based on Ben-Haim & Yom-Tov, "A
+  Streaming Parallel Decision Tree Algorithm" [1] and a previous implementation
+  in Java by Dan Rosen [2]. The histogram is represented as an array of
+  contiguous bins of non-uniform width. Each bin is centered on a certain point,
+  called its "centroid," and summarizes some "count" of observations. The bins
+  are ordered in the array by their centroids; an array is used rather than a
+  linked structure for CPU cache friendliness.
+
+  When the histogram is updated with a new observation, a new bin is created for
+  it, and then the pair of bins with the closest centroids are merged. Since
+  bins are stored in contiguous memory, this update process requires bins to be
+  shifted in worst-case linear time. The novel contribution of this
+  implementation is to maintain an insertion gap adjacent to the most recently
+  merged bin, such that for "well behaved" input (such as a normal
+  distribution), the number of shift operations required by an update should be
+  much less than the total number of bins on average.
+
+  This implementation is almost entirely untested. Don't trust it for
+  production code.

+/**
+  This is an example of one way in which "prepare" and "check" watchers can be
+  useful. We track histograms of two timing metrics:
+
+  The first is "duration," which is the amount of time between a "check" and the
+  next "prepare" (in the next iteration of the event loop). This corresponds
+  pretty closely to the amount of time spent in event handlers (such as the
+  `on_timeout` handler in this example). In a real-world server, this would
+  provide a way to monitor whether any of your handlers are blocking or
+  otherwise performing heavy computation.
+
+  The second is "delay," which is the difference between the actual and expected
+  polling duration. The actual polling duration is the amount of time between a
+  "prepare" and the next "check" (in the same iteration of the event loop), and
+  the expected duration is obtained from `evwatch_prepare_get_timeout`. In a
+  real-world server, this provides an indication of kernel scheduling delays.
+  For example, if your server is lightly loaded, this delay should usually be
+  close to your kernel's scheduling quantum (e.g. 1 millisecond).
