LibCore: Fix signal handling race condition in EventLoop

Browse source 
The event loop is responsible for handling POSIX signals while it's
running. The signal handler adds the signals to a wake pipe which is
then read after the select'ing code in wait_for_event. Problems happen,
however, when another signal comes in after the select wake: the signal
will interrupt the next syscall, the `read` from the wake pipe, and the
resulting EINTR in wait_for_event causes the program to crash. This is
undesirable. Instead, we want to retry reading as long as we're
interrupted.
