[PATCH v3 2/7] y2038: Introduce struct __timeval64 - new internal glibc type

This type is a glibc's "internal" type similar to struct timeval but
whose tv_sec field is a __time64_t rather than a time_t, which makes it
Y2038-proof. This struct is NOT supposed to be passed to the kernel -
instead it shall be converted to struct __timespec64 and clock_[sg]ettime
syscalls shall be used (which are now Y2038 safe).
Build tests:
./src/scripts/build-many-glibcs.py glibcs
---
Changes for v3:
- None
Changes for v2:
- Replace __suseconds_t with __suseconds64_t
