The POSIX waitid implementation is problematic in some ways:

  - It emulates using waitpid, which default implementation calls
    wait4 and wait4 returns ENOSYS as default.

  - Also by using waitpid it does not allod support the WNOWAIT,
    WEXITED, WSTOPPED, or WCONTINUED flag.  With current POSIX
    specification the flags are no longer marked as optional.

Also due BZ#23091 Hurd still uses the implementation, so it is moved
to as a Hurd arch-specific folder (with some minor cleanups).

Checked against a i686-gnu (run-built-tests=no)

I haven't followed that thread too closely, so sorry for maybe redundant
questions.
Does this mean you're removing support for the waitid() _syscall_ from
glibc? How do you intend to deal with P_PIDFD released with kernel 5.3?

No, this patch moves the POSIX emulation at sysdeps/posix/waitid.c based
on waitpid to a Hurd specific implementation.  Linux will still be done
by the generic syscalls.list, meaning it will a direct syscall.
