--wait said running|healthy, which reads like a coin flip. it waits until each service is running, or healthy if that service has a healthcheck (one-shot services that someone else depends on with service_completed_successfully still wait for exit).

also updates start --wait and --wait-timeout. same question as docker/cli#3861.

running|healthy was easy to misread. --wait blocks until each
service is running, or healthy when it has a healthcheck.
