io_uring: add IORING_OP_WAITID support

This adds support for an async version of waitid(2), in a fully async
version. If an event isn't immediately available, wait for a callback
to trigger a retry.

The format of the sqe is as follows:

sqe->len The 'which', the idtype being queried/waited for.
sqe->fd The 'pid' (or id) being waited for.
sqe->file_index The 'options' being set.
sqe->addr2 A pointer to siginfo_t, if any, being filled in.

buf_index, add3, and waitid_flags are reserved/unused for now.
waitid_flags will be used for options for this request type. One
interesting use case may be to add multi-shot support, so that the
request stays armed and posts a notification every time a monitored
process state change occurs.

Note that this does not support rusage, on Arnd's recommendation.

See the waitid(2) man page for details on the arguments.
