agent: Allow threads to interrupt main select loop with SIGCONT.

* agent/gpg-agent.c (interrupt_main_thread_loop): New function on
non-windows platforms, allows other threads to interrupt the main loop
if there's something that the main loop might be interested in.

--

For example, the main loop might be interested in changes in program
state that affect the timers it expects to see.

I don't know how to do this on Windows platforms, but i welcome any
proposed improvements.
