[PATCH 2/3] msqid: Provide internal copy of struct __msqid64_ds

After the commit SHA1: 3283f711132eaadc4f04bd8c1d84c910c29ba
"sysv: linux: Add 64-bit time_t variant for msgctl"

The glibc internal, 64 bit supporting version of struct __msqid64_ds has
been exported.

This approach has issue when one would like to add Y2038 support to glibc.
The problem is that both struct msqid_ds and __msqid64_ds rely on exported
implementation of the msg.h header (./sysvipc/sys/msg.h) which
unconditionally includes ./sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/bits/msq.h which in
turn includes ./sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/bits/types/struct_msqid_ds.h

As a result the externally exported struct msqid_ds.h is used internally
by glibc. Problem starts when one wants to extend this struct with 64 bit
time support:

| In file included from ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/bits/msq.h:28,
|                  from ../sysvipc/sys/msg.h:30,
|                  from ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/include/sys/msg.h:2,
|                  from ../include/sys/msg.h:1,
|                  from ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/msgctl.c:19:
| ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/bits/types/struct_msqid_ds.h:31:6: error:
            "__USE_TIME_BITS64" is not defined, evaluates to 0 [-Werror=undef]
|  # if __USE_TIME_BITS64
|       ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


To fix this issue - the internal,for glibc, copy of struct __msqid64_ds
has been re-introduced. This will allow clear separation between exported
and internal glibc types.

Moreover, the __TIMESIZE based alias shall be internal to glibc.
