libports: work around bugs in server termination

Some servers use ports_manage_port_operations_one_thread to process
requests and terminate when it returns. Since many of them don't detach
before shutting down, a client may receive an error if its request
arrived while the server is shutting down. Prevent those spurious errors
by forcing ports_manage_port_operations_one_thread not to return.

This is the same change as 235491231bdd1fd93507c835767503f047e10b91
introduced for ports_manage_port_operations_multithread.

* libports/manage-one-thread.c
(ports_manage_port_operations_one_thread): Force timeout to 0.
