Replaced PREEMPTIVE_THREADS with HAVE_YIELDING_SELECT to clarify

the exact nature of the functionality being tested.  -DNO_THREADS
does NOT have a yield select, hence the macro is not defined.
The slapd/daemon code has been changed to test both no threads
and yielding select before using a timeout of NULL.
