Fix: hand off process killing to blocking thread, await all children.

This should make dropping `ChildContainer`s and their parent `Input`s safer in async contexts.

It seems like SIGINT is insufficient to make wait terminate, but SIGKILL suffices. This introduced a new problem, namely that we have to remember and wait on *every* pid we create. This should, hopefully, put the issue of zombie processes to bed for good.
