    Check waitpid return value and exit status in tinytest.c
    
    It's possible for a unit test to report success via its pipe, but to
    fail as it tries to clean up and exit.  Notably, this happens on a
    leak sanitizer failure.
    
    Fixes bug 27658; bugfix on 0.2.2.4-alpha when tinytest was
    introduced.
