fix job control on FreeBSD and macOS: do not use WCONTINUED

Go's syscall.WaitStatus decodes the "continued" status wrongly on BSD:
on FreeBSD it is read as killed by SIGCONT, so after bg the job was
reported as "Exit 147" and removed from the job table while it was
still running (fg: "no such job"); on macOS it is read as stopped.

The shell marks jobs as running itself when it continues them, so wait4
is called without WCONTINUED and only exited/signaled statuses finish a
process.
