[PATCH v4 01/10] tools subcmd: Add non-waitpid check_if_command_finished()

[Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>]

Using waitpid can cause stdout/stderr of the child process to be
lost. Use Linux's /prod/<pid>/status file to determine if the process
has reached the zombie state. Use the 'status' file rather than 'stat'
to avoid issues around skipping the process name.
