The `wait` built-in no longer returns when the target process is suspended if job-control is on. The built-in now waits for the target process to exit or be terminated by a signal regardless of mode. This behavior is required by POSIX.1-2024. Maybe we could have a new option to make the built-in work as before, but I'd like to see if other shells introduce such an option first.
