Remove timeout in the main loop

Browse Source 
The main loop waits until there is some data to read in file descriptors of
the X server or the pseudo tty. But it uses a timeout in select(), which
causes that st awake each 20 ms, even it doesn't have something to do. This
patch removes this problem removing the timeout, which is not needed.
