sfeed_curses: improve waiting on processes and reaping them
- Wait on the exact process id and get its status. - Handle SIGCHLD explicitly and reap zombie children: ignoring them by using sigaction(SIGCHLD, &sa, NULL); would be racy in this case because sfeed_curses has interactive and non-interactive programs. Note while testing: if the markread program would be slow and in the meantime a plumb process would exit. This signal is now pending and is a zombie process until the SIGCHLD signal can be processed. This is fine. This also fixes a regression from commit 30a70fa2dab1925b0eaea04f67e3f86b360386dd because SIGCHLD was ignored in the parent for interactive processes aswell. This broke reading the exit status of the markread program, reproducable by plumbing an item and then trying to mark it as read (with SFEED_URL_FILE set).
