Fortify and optimize file-sending
Do this in two ways: 1) only allow ratox to stay in the file-sender for a certain amount of time 2) Stop hammering tox_file_send_data(). When it returns -1, we put the given friend into a cooldown-state, because all internal transmission slots are full. File sending thus now works in bursts, reading from file_in as long as tox_do() allows or until tox_file_send_data() fails. An easy way to see why we need to do the former is piping /dev/urandom to file_in, which never blocks. Effectively, the user goes "offline" after a while given he is trapped inside the loop. Piping to /dev/urandom is not an unrealistic testcase. Imagine a researcher who desperately needs true random data from his special RNG in his lab using ratox and piping it through /dev/urandom.
