Another POLLHUP test is failing on AIX, but here not for the sockets,
but for the pipes. This is an AIX bug w.r.t. POSIX. Since we cannot
easily work around it in Gnulib, this patch
- documents it,
- avoids a test failure (since I don't want to see it over and over
again, now that it's documented).

poll tests: Avoid test failure on AIX.
* tests/test-poll.c (test_pipe): Disable the "expecting POLLHUP after
shutdown" test on AIX.
* doc/posix-functions/poll.texi: Mention the AIX bug.

Under Windows, when passing a pipe, Gnulib's @code{poll} replacement might
return 0 even before the timeout has passed. Programs using it with pipes can
thus busy wait.
