Marco Costalba d58176bfea Use a timer to avoid polling
The timer will be fired asynchronously to handle
time management flags, while other threads are
searching.

This implementation uses a thread waiting on a
timed condition variable instead of real timers.
This approach allow to reduce platform dependant
code to a minimum and also is the most portable given
that timers libraries are very different among platforms
and also the best ones are not compatible with olds
Windows.

Also retire the now unused polling code.

No functional change.
