(cherry picked from commit 07695d2abb)
Introduce generic "objects" with reference counting primitives and automatic
resource deallocation when no refs are left ("garbage collection"). Overhaul
poller framework to make extensive use of these objects to allow for future
thread-concurrent operation.
No locking added anywhere yet except in poller. Poller is still not 100%
thread safe, but close.
Valgrind reports no errors or memleaks.
