y2038: Introduce struct __timeval64 - new internal glibc type

This type is a glibc's "internal" type similar to struct timeval but
whose tv_sec field is a __time64_t rather than a time_t, which makes it
Y2038-proof. This struct is NOT supposed to be passed to the kernel -
instead it shall be converted to struct __timespec64 and clock_[sg]ettime
syscalls shall be used (which are now Y2038 safe).

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