[PATCH v2] time: Fix overflow itimer tests on 32-bit systems

On the port of OpenRISC I am working on and it appears the rv32 port
we have sets __TIMESIZE == 64 && __WORDSIZE == 32.  This causes the
size of time_t to be 8 bytes, but the tv_sec in the kernel is still 32-bit
causing truncation.

The truncations are unavoidable on these systems so skip the
testing/failures by guarding with __KERNEL_OLD_TIMEVAL_MATCHES_TIMEVAL64.

Also, futher in the tests and in other parts of code checking for time_t
overflow does not work on 32-bit systems when time_t is 64-bit.  As
suggested by Adhemerval, update the in_time_t_range function to assume
32-bits by using int32_t.

This also brings in the header for stdint.h so we can update other
usages of __int32_t to int32_t as suggested by Adhemerval.

Hello,

Sorry for the delay to get this out I have been busy on the hardware side of
openrisc the last month so I haven't been able to spend time on getting this
out.

The patch ends up doing a test fix and some lib code fixes, I can split it to
separate small patches.  But since as a whole it's small I feel leaving it
together is best.
