core: Simplify shared listeners, fix deadline bug

When this listener code was first written, UsagePool didn't exist. We
can simplify much of the wrapped listener logic by utilizing UsagePool.

This also fixes a bug where new servers were able to clear deadlines
set by old servers, even if the old server didn't get booted out of its
Accept() call yet. And with the deadline cleared, they never would.
(Sometimes. Based on reports and difficulty of reproducing the bug,
this behavior was extremely rare.) I don't know why that happened
exactly, maybe some polling mechanism in the kernel and if the timings
worked out just wrong it would expose the bug.

Anyway, now we ensure that only the closer that set the deadline is the
same one that clears it, ensuring that old servers always return out of
Accept(), because the deadline doesn't get cleared until they do.

Of course, all this hinges on the hope that my suspicions in the middle
of the night are correct and that kernels work the way I think they do
in my head.

Also minor enhancement to UsagePool where if a value errors upon
construction (a very real possibility with listeners), it is removed from
the pool. Not 100% sure the sync logic is correct there, or maybe we
don't have to even put it in the pool until after construction, but it's
subtle either way and I think this is safe... right?
