os/exec: reduce arbitrary sleeps in TestWaitid

If we use the "pipetest" helper command instead of "sleep",
we can use its stdout pipe to determine when the process
is ready to handle a SIGSTOP, and we can additionally check
that sending a SIGCONT actually causes the process to continue.

This also allows us to remove the "sleep" helper command,
making the test file somewhat more concise.

Noticed while looking into #50138.
