Subject: conntrackd: improve handling of external messages

With this patch, a) we set the file descriptors for the
synchronization channels as non-blocking, b) we perform more than
one recv() call per select() signal on the socket and c) we limit
the iteration to the value that EventIterationLimit has set.
