[glibc/zack/no-nested-includes] Clarify status of wait.h and sys/bitypes.h


https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=glibc.git;h=a1ec7ee5e3e185485b43b72c43d9ca703a0de0ef

commit a1ec7ee5e3e185485b43b72c43d9ca703a0de0ef
Author: Zack Weinberg <zackw@panix.com>
Date:   Sun May 26 12:31:23 2019 -0400

    Clarify status of wait.h and sys/bitypes.h
    
    These headers are like sys/poll.h and sys/syslog.h: they are backward
    compatibility names for other headers.  Clarify this by adjusting their
    position within the HEADER_ALLOWED_INCLUDES table.
    
    	* scripts/check-obsolete-constructs.py (HEADER_ALLOWED_INCLUDES):
    	Move entries for sys/bitypes.h and wait.h next to entries for
    	sys/poll.h and sys/syslog.h, and update the commentary for that
    	group of headers.
