[PATCH] git-compat-util: prefer poll.h to sys/poll.h

POSIX specifies that <poll.h> is the correct header for poll(2) whereas <sys/poll.h> is only needed for some old libc.

Let's follow the POSIX way by default.
This effectively eliminates musl's warning:
    warning redirecting incorrect #include <sys/poll.h> to <poll.h>

t0028, t1308.23, t3900.34 is failing under musl,
Those test cases in question also fails without this patch.
- t0028 is failing because musl `iconv` output UTF-16 without BOM.
I'm not sure if my installation is broken, or it's musl's default behavior.
But, I think RFC2781, section 4.3 allows the missing BOM
- t1308.23 is failing because musl `fopen` is success when open directory
in readonly mode. POSIX allows this behavior:
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/xsh/fopen.html
[EISDIR]
The named file is a directory and mode requires write access.
- t3900.34: from what I understand, musl haven't supported ISO-2022-JP, yet.
