Fixes #2273
On macOS, killpg is expected to fail with EPERM because of the way we launch a login process around it. Before this commit, this caused us to never call waitpid and reap the child process, which caused the child process to stick around as a zombie.
This commit allows killpg to fail with EPERM on macOS and fall through to waitpid.
Note: posix process management is a topic that often confuses me so I might have this general logic wrong. If any experts have insight into making this more robust I'd love to hear it.
