Fix ABA problem when iterating epoll events.

Original patch contributed by andrey.semashev@gmail.com.

In PhysicalSocketServer::WaitEpoll(), the loop verifies that the
signalled dispatcher is in dispatchers_ set. It does so by looking up
the dispatcher pointer in the set. This is vulnerable to the ABA
problem because one dispatcher may be removed and destroyed and another
created and added with the same address before epoll reports an event
for the old dispatcher. The same issue exists for other Wait
implementations, if a dispatcher is removed and a new one added with
the same socket handle is the old.

This is avoided by using a 64-bit key for looking up the dispatcher
in the set. The key is set from a running counter which gets incremented
when a dispatcher is added to the set, so even if the same dispatcher
pointer is added, removed and added again, the key value will be
different.

This changes the storage of dispatchers_ from a set to a flat_hash_map,
which uses a bit more memory but has faster lookup (O(1) as opposed to
O(log n)).

WebRTC is a free, open software project that provides browsers and mobile applications with Real-Time Communications (RTC) capabilities via simple APIs. The WebRTC components have been optimized to best serve this purpose.

Our mission: To enable rich, high-quality RTC applications to be developed for the browser, mobile platforms, and IoT devices, and allow them all to communicate via a common set of protocols.

The WebRTC initiative is a project supported by Google, Mozilla and Opera, amongst others.

Development
