termios: add new baud_t interface, defined to be explicitly numeric

Browse Source 
Add an explicitly numeric interface for baudrate setting. For glibc,
this only announces what is a fair accompli, but this is a plausible
way forward for standardization, and may be possible to infill on
non-compliant systems. The POSIX committee has stated:

[https://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1916#c7135]

	A future version of this standard is expected to add at least
	the following symbolic constants for use as values of objects
	of type speed_t: B57600, B115200, B230400, B460800, and
	B921600.

	Implementations are encouraged to propose additional
	interfaces which will make it possible to set and query a
	wider range of speeds than just those enumerated by the
	constants beginning with B. If a set of common interfaces
	emerges between several implementations, a future version of
	this standard will likely add those interfaces.

This is exactly that interface.

The use of the term "baud" is due to the need to have a term
contrasting "speed", and it is already well established as a legacy
term -- including in the names of the legacy Bxxx
constants. Futhermore, it *is* valid from the point of view that the
termios interface fundamentally emulates an RS-232 serial port as far
as the application software is concerned.

The documentation states that for the current version of glibc,
speed_t == baud_t, but explicitly declares that this may not be the
case in the future.
