loop condition was incorrect and confusing and caused an infinite loop
when (broken) applications reaped the pid from a signal handler or
another thread before wordexp's call to waitpid could do so.

when WRDE_NOSPACE is returned, the we_wordv and we_wordc members must
be valid, because the interface contract allows them to return partial
results.
in the case of zero results (due either to resource exhaustion or a
zero-word input) the we_wordv array still should contain a terminating
null pointer and the initial we_offs null pointers. this is impossible
on resource exhaustion, so a correct application must presumably check
for a null pointer in we_wordv; POSIX however seems to ignore the
issue. the previous code may have crashed under this situation.

avoid using exit status to determine if a shell error occurred, since
broken programs may install SIGCHLD handlers which reap all zombies,
including ones that don't belong to them. using clone and __WCLONE
does not seem to work for avoiding this problem since exec resets the
exit signal to SIGCHLD.
instead, the new code uses a dummy word at the beginning of the
shell's output, which is ignored, to determine whether the command was
executed successfully. this also fixes a corner case where a word
string containing zero words was interpreted as a single zero-length
word rather than no words at all. POSIX does not seem to require this
case to be supported anyway, though.
in addition, the new code uses the correct retry idiom for waitpid to
ensure that spurious STOP/CONT signals in the child and/or EINTR in
the parent do not prevent successful wait for the child, and blocks
signals in the child.

to deal with the fact that the public headers may be used with pre-c99
compilers, __restrict is used in place of restrict, and defined
appropriately for any supported compiler. we also avoid the form
[restrict] since older versions of gcc rejected it due to a bug in the
original c99 standard, and instead use the form *restrict.

I'm not sure if it's legal for wordexp to modify this field, but this
is the only easy/straightforward fix, and applications should not
care. if it's an issue, i can work out a different (but more complex)
solution later.

previously, a potentially-indeterminate value from we_offs was being
used, resulting in wrong we_wordc and subsequent crashes in the
caller.
