Enable epoll on Python manylinux1
The Python packages built for Linux and uploaded to PyPI are required to target a standardized platform specification dubbed `manylinux1`, which tries to cover a vast array of Linux distributions, thereby emulating a legacy lowest-common-denominator distribution, with an old `glibc` that does not support `epoll_create1`, but provides the `epoll_create` interface. While there are race condition risks associated with utilizing the latter interface and setting the `O_CLOEXEC` flag immediately on the file descriptor returned by `epoll_create`, the payoff is well worth the risks for our Python users, who currently end up falling back on `poll` polling engine when downloading our Linux binary packages.
