sh: Fix a double free in a rare scenario with pipes
The command sh -c 'sleep 3 | sleep 2 & sleep 3 & kill %1; wait %1' crashes (with appropriate sanitization such as putting MALLOC_CONF=abort:true,junk:true in the environment or compiling with -fsanitize=address). What happens here is that waitcmdloop() calls dowait() with a NULL job pointer, instructing dowait() to freejob() if it's a non-interactive shell and $! was not and cannot be referenced for it. However, waitcmdloop() then uses fields possibly freed by freejob() and calls freejob() again. This only occurs if the job being waited for is identified via % syntax ($! has never been referenced for it), it is a pipeline with two or more elements and another background job has been started before the wait command. That seems special enough for a bug to remain. Test scripts written by Jilles would almost always use $! and not % syntax. We can instead make waitcmdloop() pass its job pointer to dowait(), fixing up things for that (waitcmdloop() will have to call deljob() if it does not call freejob()). The crash from https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=290330#c2 appears to be the same bug.
