    calibrate intervals to avoid zero in futures poll test
    
    We get occasional failures of 30_threads/future/members/poll.cc
    on some platforms whose high resolution clock doesn't have such a high
    resolution; wait_for_0 ends up as 0, and then some asserts fail as
    intervals measured as longer than zero are tested for less than
    several times zero.
    
    This patch adds some calibration in the iteration count to set a
    measurable base time interval with some additional margin.
    
    
    for  libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog
    
            * testsuite/30_threads/future/members/poll.cc: Calibrate
            iteration count.
