these did not truncate excess precision in the return value. fixing
them looks like considerable work, and the current C code seems to
outperform them significantly anyway.
long double functions are left in place because they are not subject
to excess precision issues and probably better than the C code.

this commit is for the sake of reviewable history.

analogous to commit 1c9afd69051a64cf085c6fb3674a444ff9a43857 for
atan[2][f].

for functions implemented in C, this is a requirement of C11 (F.6);
strictly speaking that text does not apply to standard library
functions, but it seems to be intended to apply to them, and C2x is
expected to make it a requirement.
failure to drop excess precision is particularly bad for inverse trig
functions, where a value with excess precision can be outside the
range of the function (entire range, or range for a particular
subdomain), breaking reasonable invariants a caller may expect.

this extends commit 5a105f19b5aae79dd302899e634b6b18b3dcd0d6, removing
timer[fd]_settime and timer[fd]_gettime. the timerfd ones are likely
to have been used in software that started using them before it could
rely on libc exposing functions.

this extends commit 5a105f19b5aae79dd302899e634b6b18b3dcd0d6, removing
clock_settime, clock_getres, clock_nanosleep, and settimeofday.

catan was fixed in 10e4bd3780050e75b72aac5d85c31816419bb17d but the
same bug in catanf and catanl was overlooked. the patch is completely
analogous.

under _GNU_SOURCE for namespace cleanliness, analogous to other archs.
the original placement in sys/reg.h seems not to have been motivated;
such a header isn't even present on other implementations.

some nontrivial number of applications have historically performed
direct syscalls for these operations rather than using the public
functions. such usage is invalid now that time_t is 64-bit and these
syscalls no longer match the types they are used with, and it was
already harmful before (by suppressing use of vdso).
since syscall() has no type safety, incorrect usage of these syscalls
can't be caught at compile-time. so, without manually inspecting or
running additional tools to check sources, the risk of such errors
slipping through is high.
this patch renames the syscalls on 32-bit archs to clock_gettime32 and
gettimeofday_time32, so that applications using the original names
will fail to build without being fixed.
note that there are a number of other syscalls that may also be unsafe
to use directly after the time64 switchover, but (1) these are the
main two that seem to be in widespread use, and (2) most of the others
continue to have valid usage with a null timeval/timespec argument, as
the argument is an optional timeout or similar.
