a _REDIR_TIME64 macro is introduced, which the arch's alltypes.h is
expected to define, to control redirection of symbol names for
interfaces that involve time_t and derived types. this ensures that
object files will only be linked to libc interfaces matching the ABI
whose headers they were compiled against.
along with time32 compat shims, which will be introduced separately,
the redirection also makes it possible for a single libc (static or
shared) to be used with object files produced with either the old
(32-bit time_t) headers or the new ones after 64-bit time_t switchover
takes place. mixing of such object files (or shared libraries) in the
same program will also be possible, but must be done with care; ABI
between libc and a consumer of the libc interfaces is guaranteed to
match by the the symbol name redirection, but pairwise ABI between
consumers of libc that define interfaces between each other in terms
of time_t is not guaranteed to match.
this change adds a dependency on an additional "GNU C" feature to the
public headers for existing 32-bit archs, which is generally
undesirable; however, the feature is one which glibc has depended on
for a long time, and thus which any viable alternative compiler is
going to need to provide. 64-bit archs are not affected, nor will
future 32-bit archs be, regardless of whether they are "new" on the
kernel side (e.g. riscv32) or just newly-added (e.g. a new sparc or
xtensa port). the same applies to newly-added ABIs for existing
machine-level archs.

commit befa5866ee30d09c0c96e88af2eabff5911342ea performed this change
for struct definitions that did not also involve typedef, but omitted
the latter.

the main use for this macro seems to be knowing the correct allocation
granularity for dynamic-sized fd_set objects. such usage is
non-conforming and results in undefined behavior, but it is widespread
in applications.

to deal with the fact that the public headers may be used with pre-c99
compilers, __restrict is used in place of restrict, and defined
appropriately for any supported compiler. we also avoid the form
[restrict] since older versions of gcc rejected it due to a bug in the
original c99 standard, and instead use the form *restrict.

casting to int would not be correct because high bits could be lost.
mapping the high bits down onto low bits would be costlier in the
common case where the result is just used in a conditional. changing
the type of the bit array elements to int would permute the order of
the bit array on 64-bit big endian systems, so that's not an option
either.

1 is too small if int is 32-bit but unsigned long is 64-bit. be
explicit and use 1UL.

trash in the upper 32 bits was making the kernel sleep forever in
select on 64-bit systems.
