When running on FreeBSD, there's a bug in virCommandProcessIO
polling that is triggered by the commandtest.

A test that triggers EPIPE in commandtest (named "test20") hungs
forever on FreeBSD.

Apparently, this happens because FreeBSD sets POLLHUP flag on revents
when stdin in closed. And as the current implementation only checks for
POLLOUT and POLLERR, it ends up looping forever inside
virCommandProcessIO and not trying to do one more write() that would
trigger EPIPE.

To fix that check for the POLLHUP flag along with POLLOUT and POLLERR.

We're already checking that for the pipe heading the other way and
according to information I found it makes sense to do this, even
though it seems that according to documentation this shouldn't happen.

ACK
