sdnotify tests: try real hard to kill socat processes
podman gating tests are hanging in the new Fedora CI setup; long and tedious investigation suggests that 'socat' processes are being left unkilled, which then causes BATS to hang when it (presumably) runs a final 'wait' in its end cleanup. The two principal changes are to exec socat in a subshell with fd3 closed, and to pkill its child processes before killing the process itself. I don't know if both are needed. The pkill definitely is; the exec may just be superstition. Since I've wasted more than a day of PTO time on this, I'm okay with a little superstition. What I do know is that with these two changes, my reproducer fails to reproduce in over one hour of trying (normally it fails within 5 minutes). AND, update: only rawhide (f35) leaves stray socat processes behind. f33 and ubuntu do not, so 'pkill -P' fails. I really have no idea what's going on.
