runtime: add a select test

One of my earlier versions of finer-grained select locking
failed on this test. If you just naively lock and check channels
one-by-one, it is possible that you skip over ready channels.
Consider that initially c1 is ready and c2 is not. Select checks c2.
Then another goroutine makes c1 not ready and c2 ready (in that order).
Then select checks c1, concludes that no channels are ready and
executes the default case. But there was no point in time when
no channel is ready and so default case must not be executed.
