The CI reports a compilation error on all glibc systems.
How to reproduce:
$ ./gnulib-tool --test --single-configure system-posix
...
In file included from ../../gltests/test-stdlib-h.c:40:
../../gltests/test-sys_wait-h.h:41:55: error: call to undeclared function
'WCOREDUMP'; ISO C99 and later do not support implicit function declarations
[-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
41 | i = WEXITSTATUS (i) + WSTOPSIG (i) + WTERMSIG (i) + WCOREDUMP (i);

This patch fixes it.

stdlib-h: Define WCOREDUMP, as required by POSIX:2024.
* lib/stdlib.in.h: Include <sys/wait.h> also when WCOREDUMP is not
defined.
* doc/posix-headers/stdlib.texi: Document the glibc bug.
