[v3] posix: Fix system blocks SIGCHLD erroneously [BZ #30163]

  Fix bug that SIGCHLD is erroneously blocked forever in the following
scenario:

1. Thread A calls system but hasn't returned yet
2. Thread B calls another system but returns

SIGCHLD would be blocked forever in thread B after its system() returns,
even after the system() in thread A returns.

Although POSIX does not require, glibc system implementation aims to be
thread and cancellation safe. This bug was introduced in
5fb7fc96350575c9adb1316833e48ca11553be49 when we moved reverting signal
mask to happen when the last concurrently running system returns,
despite that signal mask is per thread. This commit reverts this logic
and adds a test.

Thanks for working on this, just some more minor comments below.

Use xpthread_create and xpthread_join here:

  pthread_t short_sleep_thread = xpthread_create (NULL, 
	sleep_and_check_sigchld, &(double) { 0.2 });
  pthread_t long_sleep_thread = xpthread_create (NULL,
	sleep_and_check_sigchld, &(double) { 0.1 });
  xpthread_join (short_sleep_thread);
  xpthread_join (sleep_and_check_sigchld);

Add some parsing check here:

   TEST_VERIFY_EXIT  (argv[0] != NULL);
   char *endptr = NULL;
   double sec = strtod (argv[0], &endptr);
   TEST_VERIFY_EXIT (endptr != argv[0] && errno != ERANGE);
   /* No suffix support and only positive values.  */
   TEST_VERIFY_EXIT (sec >= 0.0);

I'm not sure if TEST_VERIFY_EXIT is the correct thing to do here, since
it's the mocked /bin/sh,
not directly part of the test. It's weird that providing invalid argument
to `sleep` would crash the shell.
Would it make more sense to print an error to stderr and return 1? FWIW, I
didn't add parsing check
here because I saw that other functions here do not have any sanity checks.
exit and kill are just
calling atoi without checking for errors and they don't check return values
either. There are some
checks in copy_func but it doesn't even check that there are two arguments
before referencing them.

Printing an error to stderr is fine, and indeed it follow better
the mock shell way. 

I want to add some sanity check to avoid issuing invalid argument to sleep 
that returns immediately or setup an unexpected timer, which might be tricky 
to debug (specially in the container environment).  Failing early with a message 
catch possible tests issues.
