Problem: read with no writer does not honor timeout

[rpedde]

1. open read pipe
2. read from pipe with a timeout

expect result: timeout after interval with -1/EAGAIN. actual result: blocks indefinitely

This using the new light client.

It could be a mixup with secs/msecs. I had to change this today. Originally the timeout was in seconds but one of my test cases needed 200msecs timeout.

The clients/zpipes_test_client.c tests this case:

//  Expect timeout error, EAGAIN
bytes = zpipes_client_read (reader, buffer, 6, 100);
assert (bytes == -1);
assert (zpipes_client_error (reader) == EAGAIN);

and that passes.

agree.
