Make WL_POSTMASTER_DEATH level-triggered on kqueue builds.

If WaitEventSetWait() reports that the postmaster has gone away, later
calls to WaitEventSetWait() should continue to report that.  Otherwise
further waits that occur in the proc_exit() path after we already
noticed the postmaster's demise could block forever.

Back-patch to 13, where the kqueue support landed.
