[phobos] Typo (bug) in std.concurrency

[Lars Tandle Kyllingstad]

Yeah, I noticed that you committed the fix, but too late. :)  Due to
some server lag, I got the "phobos commit" message several hours after I
sent my e-mail, even though the commit was apparently done before I sent
it.

In case it's useful, I should mention that even after fixing the tuple
issue and changing the return type of receiveTimeout() to void, it still
doesn't work.  The following code hangs indefinitely:

        import std.concurrency;
        
        void main()
        {
                // Should only block for 1ms:
                receiveTimeout(1, (int i) { });
        }
