```
std.Io: remove select function

This function works with a slice of futures and returns the index of a
completed one. This doesn't work very well in practice because it's
either too high level or too low level.

At the lower level we have Io.Batch for doing this kind of thing at the
Operation API layer.

At the higher level we have Io.Select which is a convenience wrapper
around an Io.Group and an Io.Queue.
