Only clear latch self-pipe/event if there is a pending notification.

Browse Source 
This avoids a good number of, individually quite fast, system calls in
scenarios with many quick queries. Besides the aesthetic benefit of
seing fewer superflous system calls with strace, it also improves
performance by ~2% measured by pgbench -M prepared -c 96 -j 8 -S (scale
100).

Without having benchmarked it, this patch also adjust the windows code,
as that makes it easier to unify the unix/windows codepaths in a later
patch. There's little reason to diverge in behaviour between the
platforms.
