ndk/looper: Deprecate poll_all*() and document implied wake results

[Upstream clarified] that due to limitations in `ALooper`, the `poll*()`
functions may not be able to distinguish an explicit `wake()` call from
any other wakeup source, including callbacks, timeouts, fd events or
even errors.  Any return value from these functions should be treated as
if a `Poll::Wake` event is also returned.

While this is not only problematic to tell a wake apart from other
events, it makes it impossible for the `poll_all*()` variants to return
correctly as they will keep looping internally on callbacks (which are
subsuming a wake event).  According to [upstream `ALooper_pollAll()`
documentation] this is considered "not safe" and the function is no
longer allowed to be called.
