Use INT_STRLEN_BOUND to proper get the maximum pid_t size. Also
fix the wrong calculation (the 3 should multiply the sizeof (pid_t)).
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.
I used these shell commands:
../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")
and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:
copyright statement not found" for each of 7061 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from math/tgmath.h,
support/tst-support-open-dev-null-range.c, and
sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strlen-vec.S, to work around the following
obscure pre-commit check failure diagnostics from Savannah. I don't
know why I run into these diagnostics whereas others evidently do not.

Tests such as posix/tst-waitid.c make heavy use of
support_process_state_wait, and thus on non-Linux where it falls back
to sleeping, a 2s sleep makes such test time out, while 1s remains
fine enough.
The advantage is that the buffer will always contain the number
of characters as returned from the function, which allows one to use
a sequence like
/* No more audit module output. */
line_length = xgetline (&buffer, &buffer_length, fp);
TEST_COMPARE_BLOB ("", 0, buffer, line_length);
to check for an expected EOF, while also reporting any unexpected
extra data encountered.

It allows parent process to wait for child state using a polling
strategy over procfs on Linux. The polling is used over ptrace to
avoid the need to handle signals on the target pid and to handle some
system specific limitation (such as YAMA).
The polling has some limitations, such as resource consumption due
the procfs read in a loop and the lack of synchronization after the
state is obtained.
The interface idea is to simplify some sleep synchronization waitid
tests and is to reduce timeouts by replacing arbitrary waits.
