Research direction

Start with the os.waitpid() entry point and review the attached os_waitpid-optional_options.diff and os_waitpid_updated_codebase_2_jaysinh.diff files. Confirm how the optional options argument should behave and add coverage for calling os.waitpid() without it; done means the intended API works and the relevant tests pass.
