wait: allow sys_waitid() to accept __WNOTHREAD/__WCLONE/__WALL
I see no reason why waitid() can't support other linux-specific flags allowed in sys_wait4(). In particular this change can help if we reconsider the previous change ("wait/ptrace: assume __WALL if the child is traced") which adds the "automagical" __WALL for debugger.
