oauth: Remove stale events from the kqueue multiplexer

If a socket is added to the kqueue, becomes readable/writable, and
subsequently becomes non-readable/writable again, the kqueue itself will
remain readable until either the socket registration is removed, or the
stale event is cleared via a call to kevent().

In many simple cases, Curl itself will remove the socket registration
quickly, but in real-world usage, this is not guaranteed to happen. The
kqueue can then remain stuck in a permanently readable state until the
request ends, which results in pointless wakeups for the client and
wasted CPU time.

Implement comb_multiplexer() to call kevent() and unstick any stale
events that would cause unnecessary callbacks. This is called right
after drive_request(), before we return control to the client to wait.
