The poll() function supplied with MacOS 10.3 (panther) is an emulated functionality, which is broken for invalid file descriptors (fails to set POLLNVAL). Added check in configure to suppress poll on systems where it is broken.

Now test_poll.py is skipped on MacOS X. When/if poll is fixed, this test should be run again.

Fixed in: configure 1.442 configure.in 1.453 pyconfig.h.in 1.96 selectmodule.c 2.76
