[PATCH v2] USE_SEIZE: fix detaching from stopped processes

V2: check WSTOPSIG(status) == syscall_trap_sig, not SIGTRAP.
Add comments explaining what we think about the process status
in detach() at various steps. Simplify PTRACE_CONT
in wait loop since now syscall_trap_sig can't be seen there.
Verified that tests/detach works.

* strace.c (detach) [USE_SEIZE]: If PTRACE_SEIZE API is in use, stop
the tracee using PTRACE_INTERRUPT instead of sending it a SIGSTOP.
In a subsequent waitpid loop, wait for either SIGSTOP or syscall_trap_sig.
