Backport fix:

zeromq/libzmq#2622

Before this commit, xhas_out() was returning true regardless. This
was correct before the ZMQ_ROUTER_MANDATORY flag as introduced.
However, ZMQ_POLLOUT.

With this commit, _if_ ZMQ_ROUTER_MANDATORY is set, xhas_out() will
return false if ALL peer's outgoing pipes are full.

There is an outstanding high-level design question:

If ZMQ_ROUTER_MANDATORY is set, and zmq_poll() waits for ZMQ_POLLOUT
events, zmq_poll() will immediately wake up if only 1 pipe has
room to send, regardless of the peer, creating a busy loop of
zmq_poll() wake-up, zmq_send() (EAGAIN). There is no way for
the application to selectively wait for ZMQ_POLLOUT for specific
peer(s), which seems somehow necessary in ZMQ_ROUTER_MANDATORY.

This discussion will be addressed in a separate issue.
