    posix: Fix pidfd_spawn/pidfd_spawnp leak if execve fails (BZ 31695)
    
    If the pidfd_spawn/pidfd_spawnp helper process succeeds, but evecve
    fails for some reason (either with an invalid/non-existent, memory
    allocation, etc.) the resulting pidfd is never closed, nor returned
    to caller (so it can call close).
    
    Since the process creation failed, it should be up to posix_spawn to
    also, close the file descriptor in this case (similar to what it
    does to reap the process).
    
    This patch also changes the waitpid with waitid (P_PIDFD) for pidfd
    case, to avoid a possible pid re-use.
    
    Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.
