Lukasz Majewski 0308077e3a y2038: linux: Provide __adjtime64 implementation ...

This patch provides new __adjtime64 explicit 64 bit function for adjusting
Linux kernel clock.

Internally, the __clock_adjtime64 syscall is used instead of __adjtimex. This
patch is necessary for having architectures with __WORDSIZE == 32 Y2038 safe.

Moreover, a 32 bit version - __adjtime has been refactored to internally use
__adjtime64.

The __adjtime is now supposed to be used on systems still supporting 32
bit time (__TIMESIZE != 64) - hence the necessary conversions between struct
timeval and 64 bit struct __timeval64.

Build tests:
./src/scripts/build-many-glibcs.py glibcs

Run-time tests:
- Run specific tests on ARM/x86 32bit systems (qemu):
  https://github.com/lmajewski/meta-y2038 and run tests:
  https://github.com/lmajewski/y2038-tests/commits/master

Above tests were performed with Y2038 redirection applied as well as without to
test the proper usage of both __adjtime64 and __adjtime.
