Disable _TIME_BITS if the compiler defaults to it

Even though building glibc with 64 bit time_t flags is not supported,
and the usual way is to patch the build system to avoid it; some
systems do enable it by default, and it increases the requirements
to build glibc in such cases (it also does not help newcomers when
trying to build glibc).

The conform namespace and linknamespace tests also do not expect
that flag to be set by default, so disable it as well.

Checked with a build/check for major ABI and some (i386, arm,
mipsel, hppa) with a toolchain that has LFS flags by default.
