Unix (non-Glib) event dispatcher: round sleep to millisecond boundary.

If we have two timers running in an application with the same timeout
and started almost at the same time by the code, they would trigger two
sleeps, the second of which very short (under a millisecond).

This causes us to match the Glib and Windows event loops, which round
all timers to millisecond anyway.
