y2038: linux: Provide __clock_settime64 implementation

This patch provides new __clock_settime64 explicit 64 bit function for
setting the time. Moreover, a 32 bit version - __clock_settime - has been
refactored to internally use __clock_settime64.

The __clock_settime is now supposed to be used on systems still supporting
32 bit time (__TIMESIZE != 64) - hence the necessary conversion to 64 bit
struct timespec.

The new clock_settime64 syscall available from Linux 5.1+ has been used,
when applicable.

In this patch the internal padding (tv_pad) of struct __timespec64 is
left untouched (on systems with __WORDSIZE == 32) as Linux kernel ignores
upper 32 bits of tv_nsec.

Build tests:
- The code has been tested on x86_64/x86 (native compilation):
make 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 clock_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
  __clock_settime64 syscalls.

- Linux v4.19 (no clock_settime64 support) with default minimal kernel
  version for contemporary glibc

  This kernel doesn't support __clock_settime64 syscalls, so the fallback
  to clock_settime is tested.

The 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.

* include/time.h (__clock_settime64):
  Add __clock_settime alias according to __TIMESIZE define
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/clock_settime.c (__clock_settime):
  Refactor this function to be used only on 32 bit machines as a wrapper
  on __clock_settime64.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/clock_settime.c (__clock_settime64): Add
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/clock_settime.c (__clock_settime64):
  Use clock_settime64 kernel syscall (available from 5.1+ Linux)
