[PATCH] wait.2: Add paragraph break before errno note in RETURN VALUE section.

[PATCH] wait.2: Add paragraph break before errno note in RETURN VALUE section.

[Carlos O'Donell]

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.
