The name `poll-one` is very easily confused with `poll-oneoff`, the previous name of `poll-list` during WASI preview 1 and much of the development of Preview 2. Inspecting if a poll is ready without blocking was requested in #51

* rename `poll-one` to `pollable.block`, and add `ready` method The name `poll-one` is very easily confused with `poll-oneoff`, the previous name of `poll-list` during WASI preview 1 and much of the development of Preview 2. Inspecting if a poll is ready without blocking was requested in #51 * rename `poll-list` to `poll` With `poll-one` renamed to `pollable.block`, there is no longer a distinction required between `poll-list` and `poll-one`, so change this name to the simplest name that can possibly work.

In JS hosts, implementing poll_list as blocking requires some asyncify work.
It could be nice to have a non-blocking alternative to
poll_listthat could be used as part of an actual polling scheme, if that kind of a model would be worth considering.Just being able to inspect if a poll is ready should be enough to support this.
