y2038: linux: Provide __timer_settime64 implementation

This patch provides new __timer_settime64 explicit 64 bit function for setting
flags, interval and value of specified timer.
Moreover, a 32 bit version - __timer_settime has been refactored to internally
use __timer_settime64.

The __timer_settime is now supposed to be used on systems still supporting 32
bit time (__TIMESIZE != 64) - hence the necessary conversion to 64 bit struct
__timespec64 from struct timespec (and opposite when old_value pointer is
provided).

The new __timer_settime64 syscall available from Linux 5.1+ has been used, when
applicable.

The original INLINE_SYSCALL() macro has been replaced with
INLINE_SYSCALL_CALL() to avoid explicit passing the number of arguments.

Build tests:
- The code has been tested on x86_64/x86 (native compilation):
make PARALLELMFLAGS="-j8" && make check PARALLELMFLAGS="-j8" && \\
make xcheck PARALLELMFLAGS="-j8"

- The glibc has been build tested (make PARALLELMFLAGS="-j8") for
x86 (i386), x86_64-x32, and armv7

Run-time tests:
- Run specific tests on ARM/x86 32bit systems (qemu):
  https://github.com/lmajewski/meta-y2038 and run tests:
  https://github.com/lmajewski/y2038-tests/commits/master

- Use of cross-test-ssh.sh for ARM (armv7):
  make PARALLELMFLAGS="-j8" test-wrapper='./cross-test-ssh.sh root@192.168.7.2' xcheck

Linux kernel, headers and minimal kernel version for glibc build test
matrix:
- Linux v5.1 (with timer_settime64) and glibc build with v5.1 as
  minimal kernel version (--enable-kernel="5.1.0")
  The __ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS flag defined.

- Linux v5.1 and default minimal kernel version
  The __ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS not defined, but kernel supports timer_settime64
  syscall.

- Linux v4.19 (no timer_settime64 support) with default minimal kernel version
  for contemporary glibc (3.2.0)
  This kernel doesn't support timer_settime64 syscall, so the fallback to
  timer_settime is tested.

Above tests were performed with Y2038 redirection applied as well as without
(so the __TIMESIZE != 64 execution path is checked as well).

No regressions were observed.
