Fix forkfd on OS X 10.7 and earlier

dtruss logs show that the signal handler does enter and is active, since
it does the first waitid() call, but then returns immediately:

 waitid(0x0, 0x0, 0x7FFF62D7C468)               = 0 0
 sigreturn(0x7FFF62D7C9A0, 0x1E, 0x0)           = 0 Err#-2

Since there was no error return, we conclude that si_pid was zero on
return. Source code for OS X 10.7 confirms that si_pid is set to zero
unconditionally, which is rather stupid:
 http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/source/bsd/kern/kern_exit.c?v=xnu-1699.24.8#L1330

This is fixed for OS X 10.8:
 http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/source/bsd/kern/kern_exit.c?v=xnu-2050.18.24#L1399

Without that information, we have to scan each child anyway, so
just disable the waitid() solution on OS X. This is a "hammer" solution
which will get forkfd working. We can later try and detect at runtime
whether waitid() is working.
