bitbake: bitbake-worker: Further IO performance tweaks

Looking further at the CPU loads on systems running large numbers of tasks,
the following things helps performance:

* Loop on waitpid until there are no processes still waiting
* Using select to wait for the cooker pipe to be writable before writing
  avoiding pointless 100% cpu usage
* Only reading from worker pipes that select highlights are readable
