PATCH 1/1 wait.2: Add paragraph break before errno note in RETURN VALUE section.

The text "Each of these calls sets errno to an appropriate value in the case of an error." is not only for waitid.

This patch adds a paragraph break to move the errno note to a new paragraph where it makes sense, as it applies to all the wait* functions.

Tested against upstream master.
