Remove union wait [BZ #19613]

The overloading approach in the W* macros was incompatible with
integer expressions of a type different from int.  Applications
using union wait and these macros will have to migrate to the
POSIX-specified int status type.

 * The readdir_r and readdir64_r functions have been deprecated.  It is
   recommended to use readdir and readdir64 instead.

-status values rather than an @code{int}.  The two representations are
-actually interchangeable; they describe the same bit patterns.  @Theglibc{}
-defines macros such as @code{WEXITSTATUS} so that they will
-work on either kind of object, and the @code{wait} function is defined
