manual: Update _DEFAULT_SOURCE. [BZ #22862]
The description of the interplay between feature test macros and compiler options in the description of _DEFAULT_SOURCE is a little confusing, and dated, so clarify the situation, and don't assume a specific value for _DEFAULT_SOURCE. Also, _DEFAULT_SOURCE is supposed to be defined if none of the C/POSIX feature test macros are defined, but the condition was lacking a test for _ISOC11_SOURCE, so that is also addressed. [BZ #22862] * include/features.h: Add _ISOC11_SOURCE to test for whether to define _DEFAULT_SOURCE. * manual/creature.texi (_DEFAULT_SOURCE): Improve documentation.
