Linux: Add epoll_pwait2 (BZ #27359)
It is similar to epoll_wait, with the difference the timeout has
nanosecond resoluting by using struct timespec instead of int.

Although Linux interface only provides 64 bit time_t support, old
32 bit interface is also provided (so keep in sync with current
practice and to no force opt-in on 64 bit time_t).

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu.
