ext: Monkeypatch os.waitpid to extract CPU time from subprocess

Added utility class `TimedWaitPID` which monkey-patches os.waitpid()
with a functor that has the same signature, but calls os.wait4()
instead. This allows the process's user and system CPU time to be
obtained from the OS when using APIs (such as subprocess) which use
os.waitpid() internally.

The process CPU time is stored within the functor and can be read back
later by calling TimedWaitPID.get_time_for_pid().
