[issue19310] asyncio: fix waitpid() logic

[Charles-François Natali]

New submission from Charles-François Natali:

The current SIGCHILD handler has two bugs:
- it reschedules itself if waitpid() returns 0: so if this ever happens, it will enter a busy-loop until all children have exited
- it doesn't reschedule itself if waitpid() succeeds in reaping a child: since signals can be coalesced, we must keep calling waitpid() as long as it succeeds, since the incoming SIGCHLD signal could actually be due to more than one child exited (and there won't be a SIGCHILD coming later for the processes we didn't wait right away).
