examples: Wait recommended 100ms when no file descriptors are ready
Prior to this change when no file descriptors were ready on platforms other than Windows the multi examples would sleep whatever was in timeout, which may or may not have been less than the minimum recommended value [1] of 100ms. [1]: http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_multi_fdset.html
