Since withFramedSink() is now used a lot more than in the past (for
every addToStore() variant), we were creating a lot of threads, e.g.
nix flake show --no-eval-cache --all-systems github:NixOS/nix/afdd12be5e19c0001ff3297dea544301108d298
would create 46418 threads. While threads on Linux are cheap, this is
still substantial overhead.
So instead, just poll from FramedSink before every write whether there
are pending messages from the daemon. This could slightly increase the
latency on log messages from the daemon, but not on exceptions (which
were only synchronously checked from FramedSink anyway).
This speeds up the command above from 19.2s to 17.5s on my machine (a
9% speedup).
