curl_multi_wait: no wait if no descriptors to wait for

Browse Source 
This is a minor change in behavior after having been pointed out by Mark
Tully and discussed on the list. Initially this case would internally
call poll() with no sockets and a timeout which would equal a sleep for
that specified time.
