sh: Fix EINTR race condition in "wait" and "set -T" using sigsuspend().
When waiting for child processes using "wait" or if "set -T" is in effect, a signal interrupts the wait. Make sure there is no window where the signal handler may be invoked (setting a flag) just before going to sleep. There is a similar race condition in the shell language, but scripts can avoid it by exiting from the trap handler or enforcing synchronization using a fifo. If SIGCHLD is not trapped, a signal handler must be installed for it. Only install this handler for the duration of the wait to avoid triggering unexpected [EINTR] errors elsewhere. Note that for some reason only SIGINT and SIGQUIT interrupt a "wait" command. This remains the case.
