fix: use select on macOS

the man page for macOS `poll(2)` says, under "bugs", that polling
devices does not work, and indeed, although the current implementation
based on poll(2) does produce output, it does not appear to actually
be polling for this reason; instead the wait is blocking on the `read`
call, causing the macOS user to need to input another character to
exit.

this change introduces a wrapper over macOS's implementation of
`select`, modeled after `std.io.poll` as `select.zig`. it is a compile
error to use `select.zig` when `builtin.os.tag.isDarwin()` is false. a
lightly altered version of `Tty.zig` accompanies this change. it's
certainly possible to incorporate the two into one file; i didn't just
to leave the other one in its original state.

with this change, writing to the pipe correctly exits.

additionally, on macOS, `Thread.setName` must be called from the
thread whose name you wish to set, so I have just commented out that
line.
