Description

libevent is a combination of libevent_core and libevent_extra. Mesos/libprocess does not make use of any libevent_extra functionality and additionally it appears that its use is against best practices.

From http://www.wangafu.net/~nickm/libevent-book/Ref0_meta.html:

libevent
This library exists for historical reasons; it contains the contents of both libevent_core and libevent_extra.
You shouldn’t use it; it may go away in a future version of Libevent.

We should adapt our linkage accordingly.
