Add a `select` function, defined only on platforms where it doesn't have an `FD_SETSIZE` limitation.

In the `waitpid` tests, ensure that the child process has exited, as dropping `Command` otherwise leaves the process running. This fixes test hangs on macos.

Is this tested on Win32? It looks like it has a slightly different implementation of FD_SET than Unix does, that isn't implemented in the bitfield way.

Ooh, good spot. I had not yet tested it on Windows. I'll just disable Windows support for now.

I'm worried that the current way it's implemented would make Windows support impossible in the future without a breaking change.

Yes. I was thinking of just skipping the Windows tax here until someone shows up with a use case that needs it. If that happens, we could do like a select_ng or whatever until the next semver break.
Windows has a different `FD_SET` representation. Supporting it might be possible, though the documentation is ambiguous about whether it supports arbitrary `FD_SETSIZE` values. But even if so, it would require a more elaborate abstraction, so just drop it for now.
