Per shadow/shadow#32, Shadow now intercepts the epoll interface for event notifications, and no longer supports libevent directly.

We need to ensure libevent uses epoll as a backend, and make sure the Tor plug-in still functions. The Tor plug-in should be able to link to libevent, force it to use the epoll backend, and still get notifications properly.
