Use xfork here.

And xwaitpid.

And TEST_VERIFY_EXIT (WIFEXITED (status));

We have the macro DO_NOT_OPTIMIZE_OUT (benchtests/bench-util.h), which are used for
similar constructs.  Maybe move this to somewhere in include and do:

  uint64_t sink = 0;
  for (uint64_t i = 0; i < UINT64_C(1000000000); i++)
    {
      sink += i;
      DO_NOT_OPTIMIZE_OUT (sink);
    }

Line too long, use clang-format with the .clang-format we now have.

Use array_length (...).

The rest looks ok.
