Add a port_getn_query function. (#1216)

* Add a `port_getn_query` function.

The solarish [`port_getn` function] special-cases a `max` argument value
of 0 to be a query of the number of events available. #1215 added a
special-case to protect the code from doing a resize in that case. And
in case users actually do want to do a query, this PR adds a new
`port_getn_query` function that passes a zero.

[`port_getn` function]: https://illumos.org/man/3C/port_getn

* Fix errors.

* Update src/event/port.rs
