mariadb-waitpid & mysql_waitpid for MariaDB Community Server 10.3

Overview

The mysql_waitpid utility signals a process to terminate and waits for the process to exit. It is only usable on Unix and Unix-like systems, as it uses the kill() system call and Unix signals.

MariaDB Community Server 10.3 does not provide a symbolic link to the utility's new name (mariadb-waitpid), so the legacy name must be used.
