libc/features.h: Make code match documentation
The documentation states that _GNU_SOURCE enables "all of the above
plus GNU extensions.". Furthermore the documentation states that
_DEFAULT_SOURCE would enable POSIX-1.2008 with BSD and SVr4 extensions.
The code did different things though:
* For _GNU_SOURCE it only enabled POSIX.1-2008 but it should have been the
highest available one, POSIX.1-2024.
* For _DEFAULT_SOURCE it enabled POSIX.1-2024.
Let's use the highest available POSIX standard possible and fix
documentation where necessary.
(cherry picked from commit abce9786a0c6cbfbf2d095461341574ec7097d71)
