[Bug libgcj/29324] add wait handling hook

Another idea:

In the SIGCHLD signal handler record the pid of the process that exited.  Then
look it up in the pidToProcess map.  If it belongs to the libgcj runtime, then
do waitpid(pid, ...) on it.  Otherwise ignore it assuming it belongs to code
external to libgcj.  It would be nice if we could call into libgcj from the
signal handler, but I don't think that we can. :(

You could get even fancier and chain the SIGCHLD signal handler to any handler
that may have been previously installed.  We would expect the same of external
code that installed a SIGCHLD handler.
