lp: support 64-bit time_t user space

Once we get a glibc with 64-bit time_t, the LPSETTIMEOUT ioctl stops
working, since the command number and data structure no longer match.

To work around that, this introduces a new command number LPSETTIMEOUT_NEW
that is used whenever the modified user space evaluates the LPSETTIMEOUT
macro.

The trick we use is a bit convoluted but necessary: we cannot check for
any macros set by the C library in linux/lp.h, because this particular
header can be included before including sys/time.h. However, we can assume
that by the time that LPSETTIMEOUT is seen in the code, the definition
for 'timeval' and 'time_t' has been seen as well, so we can use the
sizeof() operator to determine whether we should use the old or the
new definition. We use the old one not only for traditional 32-bit user
space with 32-bit time_t, but also for all 64-bit architectures and x32,
which always use a 64-bit time_t, the new definition will be used only for
32-bit user space with 64-bit time_t, which also requires a newer kernel.

The compat_ioctl() handler now implements both commands, but has to
use a special case for existing x32 binaries. The native ioctl handler
now implements both command numbers on both 32-bit and 64-bit, though
the latter version use the same interpretation for both.

This is based on an earlier patch from Bamvor.
