#2442: Generic polling utility with support for stopping a service

 !LoopingCall and !TimedService are OK, but it's hard to make sure they
 stop looping before stopService is complete.  This pattern repeats all
 over Buildbot, with some confusing, difficult-to-test code as the result.

 We should have some generic support for this, well-tested, and used
 throughout.
