IOCP requires another I/O concept: it's requires asynchronous I/O
while select/kqueue/epoll/etc. require non-blocking I/O. However,
nginx was being developped with asynchronous I/O in mind, therefore
I will add single-thread IOCP soon. It should be more scaleble than
select() even with single thread. The second step, multithreaded IOCP,
is more complex since nginx workers are single thread applications,
and the step requires introdution various locks and mutexes.
