adds SDL_WaitEventTimeout function

Here's a patch to add an SDL_WaitEventTimeout method to SDL 1.3 (as of r4406) without changing anything underneath. It is careful to avoid calling SDL_GetTicks() if either a zero or an infinite timeout have been requested.

Also, it reimplement SDL_PollEvent and SDL_WaitEvent in terms of this more generic function. It would be better if they were inlined in the header, but I wasn't sure of the policy for that, since strange compilers might be involved (I'm usually more of a C++ hacker).

Thanks!  I reworked this a little bit and committed it as revision 4438.
