The return value now better reflects what has happened:
1 on success (incoming connection on listen socket, we
accepted it successfully), -1 on error, 0 on timeout.
Also change the select calls to not check _all_ possible
file descriptors.

To make this work, we also have to initialize sockets
to a default value of -1.
Also close a client listen socket if it's open.

Forking the whole process from deep within a library call does
not really work at all with apps that use multiple threads, i.e. every
reasonably modern GUI app. So, provide a non-forking listen function so
that the caller can decide if to fork, start a thread, etc.
This implementation adds a timeout parameter to be able to call the
listen function multiple times so that it's possible to do sth. else
in between, e.g. abort listening.
