net.server_epoll: Add support for opportunistic writes This tries to flush data to the underlying sockets when receiving writes. This should lead to fewer timer objects being around. On the other hand, this leads to more and smaller writes which may translate to more TCP/IP packets being sent, depending on how the kernel handles this. This trades throughput for lower latency.
