Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Fix behaviour of 'epoll-wake!' after 'run-fibers'.

This avoids the "epoll instance is dead" error noticed in
GNUnet-Scheme's test suite, as reported at
<https://github.com/wingo/fibers/issues/61>.
A test is added in the next commit.

This patch has been applied upstream, but there hasn't been
a new release yet at time of writing.

* fibers/epoll.scm (epoll-wake!)[dead]: Instead of throwing an error,
just return #t.
