pidfd: add P_PIDFD to waitid()

This adds the P_PIDFD type to waitid().
One of the last remaining bits for the pidfd api is to make it possible
to wait on pidfds. With P_PIDFD added to waitid() the parts of userspace
that want to use the pidfd api to exclusively manage processes can do so
now.

One of the things this will unblock in the future is the ability to make
it possible to retrieve the exit status via waitid(P_PIDFD) for
non-parent processes if handed a _suitable_ pidfd that has this feature
set. This is similar to what you can do on FreeBSD with kqueue(). It
might even end up being possible to wait on a process as a non-parent if
an appropriate property is enabled on the pidfd.

With P_PIDFD no scoping of the process identified by the pidfd is
possible, i.e. it explicitly blocks things such as wait4(-1), wait4(0),
waitid(P_ALL), waitid(P_PGID) etc. It only allows for semantics
equivalent to wait4(pid), waitid(P_PID). Users that need scoping should
rely on pid-based wait*() syscalls for now.
