    Log Message:
    Resolve undetected or infinitely-retried socket-send failures

    My hub (1:218/700) is currently having what appears to be a TCP/IP
    connectivity issue that was resulting in infinite "Send failure"
    log messages and "We got an M_EOB, but there are still N files pending M_GOT" log messages.

    I first added better socket-send failure detection (checking return value of sendCmd() and sendData() where needed) and then noticed that failure to send
    a file was not detected (the sending.file.position is advanced even if sendData() fails), so now handling that condition too.

    Also added more diagnostics around socket-send failures (is socket writable?) in this particular case, the socket is not writable and socket-send is returning 0.

    Use socket.poll() to check socket for writability before send()

    This is the real fix for infinite-wait on send() problem that was attempted
    in commit f0127e9d457, but caused other issues. Thanks Deuce.

    Log Message:
    Also use a timeout if we have nothing to send.

    Fixes an infinite loop where there is nothing to send because the
    remote does not have the address you are calling to deliver a message
    for.

    For example if W6RAY just joined the BBSDev FTN, and was assigned
    885:1/99, and a netmail was created welcoming the BBS to the network,
    but they didn't add the new address to the AKA list in scfg, binkit
    would sit using 100% CPU.

    Now it sets the timeout, so sits at 0% CPU for 120s then fails.

    This is still likely wrong, but at least it's wrong in a much less
    harmful way.

    Fix error in previous commit regarding no files.

    sending will be undefined after a file completes transfer, so the
    previous fix resulted in only the first file being trasnferred.

    Ensure tx queue is zero-length before setting the timeout.

    Fix two-minute timeout when answering and no files

    Regression introduced in ff46f601, where the answering system would
    not send an M_EOB and instead perform a timeout.
