added support for mime types (by looking at file extension) (tags/1.0)

At the moment there is an hardcoded table that maps mime types to extensions. For the time being this can be OK, as I don’t even currently serve all those types of file, but in the future I’d like to let user pass a file with the mapping, like /usr/share/misc/mime.types on OpenBSD, to map. However, even in this case, we should hardcode text/gemini IMHO, since most mime.types listing doesn’t have it yet.

rewrote the main loop to use poll

We can handle up to MAX_USERS (64 by default) concurrently. Now, given that we don’t support CGI, it’s not a big deal. Gemini requests are small (up to 1024 bytes), and also the replies from the server are small (one line plus the document — if any), all over TLS obviously. (but even there, it’s lighter than HTTP because we don’t need to send the whole chain for the certificate — see TOFU). Given all the above, this doesn’t really improve the performance in the real world, but it’s nice to have. The main use case for this is to disallow slow clients to stop fast clients.

remame sendfile to send_file and senddir to send_dir

apparently, on some systems there is a sendfile(2), so to avoid a name clash we rename it to send_file and send_dir.

explicitly require TLS 1.2 or 1.3

it's the default, but just in case (since gemini spec explicitly talks about 1.3 as "default" and 1.2 for ease of implementation)
