sysv: linux: Add 64-bit time_t variant for semctl

Different than others 64-bit time_t syscalls, the SysIPC interface
does not provide a new set of syscall for y2038 safeness.  Instead it
uses unused fields in semid_ds structure to return the high bits for
the timestamps.

To provide a y2038 safe interface a new symbol __semctl64 is added
and __semctl is change to call it instead (it adds some extra buffer
copying for the 32 bit time_t implementation).

Two new structures are added:

  1. kernel_semid64_ds: used internally only on 32-bit architectures
     to issue the syscall.  A handful of architectures (hppa, i386,
     mips, powerpc32, sparc32) require specific implementations due
     their kernel ABI.

  2. semid_ds64: this is only for __TIMESIZE != 64 to use along with
     the 64-bit semctl.  It is different than the kernel struct because
     the exported 64-bit time_t might require different alignment
     depending on the architecture ABI.

So the resulting implementation does:

  1. For 64-bit architectures it assumes semid_ds already contains
     64-bit time_t fields and will result in just the __semctl symbol
     using the __semctl64 code.  The semid_ds argument is passed as-is
     to the syscall.

  2. For 32-bit architectures with default 64-bit time_t (newer ABIs
     such riscv32 or arc), it will also result in only one exported
     symbol but with the required high/low handling.

     It might be possible to optimize it further to avoid the
     kernel_semid64_ds to semun transformation if the exported ABI
     for the architectures matches the expected kernel ABI, but the
     implementation is already complex enough and don't think this
     should be a hotspot in any case.

  3. Finally for 32-bit architecture with both 32-bit and 64-bit time_t
     support we follow the already set way to provide one symbol with
     64-bit time_t support and implement the 32-bit time_t support
     using the 64-bit one.

     The default 32-bit symbol will allocate and copy the semid_ds
     over multiple buffers, but this should be deprecated in favor
     of the __semctl64 anyway.

Checked on i686-linux-gnu and x86_64-linux-gnu.  I also did some sniff
tests on powerpc, powerpc64, mips, mips64, armhf, sparcv9, and
sparc64.
