Bug #3329

Description
The macro WIFSIGNALED(status)
gives true even when the child process is
continued by a signal SIGCONT. I think it should be true ONLY IF the
child is terminated by a signal, as described in wait(2) man page.
On DragonFly 6.2, an example C program (see the end of this post) gives:
0x117f: stopped 0x0013: signaled: 19 0x0013: continued 0x0000: exited: 0
The two lines with status=0x0013 shows that both WIFSIGNALED(status)
andWIFCONTINUED(status)
are true for this status.
On FreeBSD it gives:
0x117f: stopped 0x0013: continued 0x0000: exited: 0
The line 'signaled' is not output also on Linux and macOS.
On FreeBSD the macro is defined (in sys/wait.h) as follows:
#define WIFSIGNALED(x) (_WSTATUS(x) != _WSTOPPED && _WSTATUS(x) != 0 && (x) != 0x13)
I think DragonFly should use the same definition.
