Subject: {dir,inbox}idle: use level-triggered epoll

Both read(2) on inotify and kevent(2) return a finite amount of
events.  Let the kernel notify us again in cases where we'd
need to retry instead of looping ourselves.  This can prevent
missed/delayed notifications while still ensuring fairness in
busy event loops.
