[src/trunk]: src/doc Update TODO.ptrace with new entries

description:
Update TODO.ptrace with new entries

Added entries:
 - add support to read debugger events via a file descriptor in procfs
   (kevent(2)), it's still useful in cases when a parent traces tracee and has
   to call waitpid(2) for its child - as this clashes with GUI toolkits
 - fix more calls for netbsd32 compat
