selftests/bpf: Fix spurious failures in accept due to EAGAIN



Andrii Nakryiko reports that sockmap_listen test suite is frequently
failing due to accept() calls erroring out with EAGAIN:

  ./test_progs:connect_accept_thread:733: accept: Resource temporarily unavailable
  connect_accept_thread:FAIL:733

This is because we are using a non-blocking listening TCP socket to
accept() connections without polling on the socket.

While at first switching to blocking mode seems like the right thing to do,
this could lead to test process blocking indefinitely in face of a network
issue, like loopback interface being down, as Andrii pointed out.

Hence, stick to non-blocking mode for TCP listening sockets but with
polling for incoming connection for a limited time before giving up.

Apply this approach to all socket I/O calls in the test suite that we
expect to block indefinitely, that is accept() for TCP and recv() for UDP.
