Linux: Only generate 64 bit timestamps for 64 bit time_t recvmsg/recvmmsg
The timestamps created by __convert_scm_timestamps only make sense for
64 bit time_t programs, 32 bit time_t programs will ignore 64 bit time_t
timestamps since SO_TIMESTAMP will be defined to old values (either by
glibc or kernel headers).

Worse, if the buffer is not suffice MSG_CTRUNC is set to indicate it
(which breaks some programs [1]).

This patch makes only 64 bit time_t recvmsg and recvmmsg to call
__convert_scm_timestamps.  Also, the assumption to called it is changed
from __ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS to __TIMESIZE != 64 since the setsockopt
might be called by libraries built without __TIME_BITS=64.  The
MSG_CTRUNC is only set for the 64 bit symbols, it should happen only
if 64 bit time_t programs run older kernels.

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