In my opinion we should use libev as the default and make it a submodule
(possibly as part of some sort of plugin system for event loops). This
allows us to use modern things such as io_uring as they come.

For crypto there is a valid argument to avoid the complexity of OpenSSL
etc, but libev is relatively elegant and clean.
