Only waitpid() for processes that we care about

It seems as though in an AppImage there's an extra child process that
dies at some early point, before we have set up a SIGCHLD handler.  So
when we later get a SIGCHLD from a child that we do care about,
waitpid(-1, ...) tells us about the extra child - and we don't notice
that the interesting child has exited.

Or something like that!

something similar
* discussion at the AppImage repository:
https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/issues/812#issuecomment-404662110.

Fix is to be explicit about which process we are waitpid()'ing for, so
we never need be distracted by children that we don't know about.

Fixes #8104
