Paul Eggert e07d7c40f3 sys_time: allow too-wide tv_sec
* m4/sys_time_h.m4 (gl_HEADER_SYS_TIME_H_BODY): Allow struct
timeval even if tv_sec is wider than time_t.  This allows
OpenBSD 5.1 amd64 and fixes an Emacs porting glitch with utimens.c,
as without this patch gnulib replaces struct timeval
and OpenBSD futimes therefore has a type mismatch.
* doc/posix-headers/sys_time.texi: Mention this.

narrower than @code{time_t}
on some native Windows platforms:
mingw64 in 64-bit mode,
mingw64 in 32-bit mode when @code{__MINGW_USE_VC2005_COMPAT} is defined,
MSVC 9 in 64-bit mode,
MSVC 9 in 32-bit mode when @code{_USE_32BIT_TIME_T} is not defined.
