Problem: flux-core only supports libev (vendored or external). Add a --with-libuv configure option which causes HAVE_LIBUV to be defined in config.h and defines LIBUV to be tested in Makefile.am's. Rename --with-external-libev to --with-libev to match. If neither --with-libev nor --with-libuv are specified, use vendored libev.
Problem: if ev_loop() fails in flux_reactor_create(), the destructor is called with a reference count that causes it to do nothing. Just call free instead of calling the destructor.
Problem: flux_watcher_destroy() could clobber errno. Save/restore errno within the function.
Problem: supporting both libuv and libev in watcher_wrap.c with preprocessor ifdefs will be a mess. Rename watcher_wrap.c to watcher_ev.c in anticipating of adding a separate watcher_uv.c version.
Problem: the flux reactor lacks an interface for embedding in other reactors. libev doesn't offer access to a file descriptor that becomes ready when events are pending. However, libuv provides uv_backend_fd(). Therefore, let's begin a port of libuv to Flux. This commit creates an alternate libflux reactor implementation based on libuv that is selected when flux-core is configured --with-libuv. Reactor watchers are dealt with in a separate commit.
Problem: the libuv port lacks Flux watcher implementations. Add implementations for the built-in Flux watchers, except periodic watchers. flux_watcher_set_priority() is not implemented.

Problem: as discussed in #3969, it is hard to embed the flux reactor in another event loop because it doesn't expose an interface for notification when events are pending (such as a file descriptor). It cannot, because libev does not. libuv does, hence the interest in replacing libev with libuv.
This PR adds a new configure option:
When configured that way, libev is replaced with libuv. However, this is still a WIP due to:
flux_watcher_set_priority()isn't implemented (we support it for check watchers only)Given the experimental label, perhaps we could merge this if we could do the following:
Then when the reactor embedding issue priority goes up again at some point, perhaps someone can pick this up and resolve any remaining issues.
