y2038: linux: Provide __gettimeofday64 implementation
In the glibc the gettimeofday can use vDSO (on power and x86 the
USE_IFUNC_GETTIMEOFDAY is defined), gettimeofday syscall or 'default'
___gettimeofday() from ./time/gettime.c (as a fallback).

In this patch the last function (___gettimeofday) has been refactored and
moved to ./sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/gettimeofday.c to be Linux specific.

The new __gettimeofday64 explicit 64 bit function for getting 64 bit time from
the kernel (by internally calling __clock_gettime64) has been introduced.

Moreover, a 32 bit version - __gettimeofday has been refactored to internally
use __gettimeofday64.

The __gettimeofday is now supposed to be used on systems still supporting 32
bit time (__TIMESIZE != 64) - hence the necessary check for time_t potential
overflow and conversion of struct __timeval64 to 32 bit struct timespec.

The iFUNC vDSO direct call optimization has been removed from both i686 and
powerpc32 (USE_IFUNC_GETTIMEOFDAY is not defined for those architectures
anymore). The Linux kernel does not provide a y2038 safe implementation of
gettimeofday neither it plans to provide it in the future, clock_gettime64
should be used instead. Keeping support for this optimization would require
to handle another build permutation (!__ASSUME_TIME64_SYSCALLS &&
USE_IFUNC_GETTIMEOFDAY) which adds more complexity and has limited use
(since the idea is to eventually have a y2038 safe glibc build).

Build tests:
./src/scripts/build-many-glibcs.py glibcs

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

Above tests were performed with Y2038 redirection applied as well as without
to test proper usage of both __gettimeofday64 and __gettimeofday.
