sockfilt.c: fixed and simplified Windows select function
Since the previous complex select function with initial support for non-socket file descriptors, did not actually work correctly for Console handles, this change simplifies the whole procedure by using an internal waiting thread for the stdin console handle. The previous implementation made it continuously trigger for the stdin handle if it was being redirected to a parent process instead of an actual Console input window. This approach supports actual Console input handles as well as anonymous Pipe handles which are used during input redirection. It depends on the fact that ReadFile supports trying to read zero bytes which makes it wait for the handle to become ready for reading.
