My immediate suggestion would be a new api (libssh2_session_pump?)
that just runs _transport_read() until there's nothing left to read.
My assumption is that any useful packets we might need later get
processed and queued in the buffers while other packets (_DEBUG,
_IGNORE) are discarded and _GLOBAL_REQUEST, used for keepalive, is
responded to if a response was requested. Then you do your own
select/poll/etc. so you know when to call the function.

But I'm not very familiar with the transport layer so I may be
misunderstanding what happens to the packets.

Also, the client would have to take care to stop the polling and
pumping if they are using an API call. ... I think.
