[PATCH] virmockstathelpers: Load aliases for 64-bit time

On 32-bit arches, it's possible not only to request
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 (which is always done with meson) but also
-D_TIME_BITS=64. With glibc, both of these affect what variant of
stat() or lstat() is called. With 64 bit time it's:
__stat64_time64() or __lstat64_time64(), respectively.

Fortunately, no other variant (__xstat(), __xstat64()) has
_time64 alternative and thus does not need similar treatment.

Similarly, musl is not affected by this.

Mind you, after this I still see two tests failing:

  1) virnettlscontexttest
  2) virnettlssessiontest

But I believe the problem is that GnuTLS on my 32bit RPi was not built
with -D_TIME_BITS=64 and thus when generating certificates and setting
their activation/expiry times I get the following errors:

TEST: virnettlscontexttest
 1) TLS Context cacertreq.filename + servercertreq.filename           ... libvirt: XML-RPC error : The server certificate servercertreq-ctx.pem is not yet active
FAILED

TEST: virnettlssessiontest
 1) TLS Session servercertreq.filename + clientcertreq.filename       ... libvirt: XML-RPC error : authentication failed: Failed to verify peer's certificate
FAILED

Setting of activation/expiry times is done by calling:

  1) gnutls_x509_crt_set_activation_time(..., time_t act_time)
  2) gnutls_x509_crt_set_expiration_time(..., time_t exp_time)

And this is how calling the first looks under disassembly:

    7428:       e51b1128        ldr     r1, [fp, #-296] ; 0xfffffed8
    742c:       e14b2dd4        ldrd    r2, [fp, #-212] ; 0xffffff2c
    7430:       e1a00001        mov     r0, r1
    7434:       ebfff23d        bl      3d30 <gnutls_x509_crt_set_activation_time at plt>

Now, ldrd instruction modifies both r2 and r3 by loading 4+4 bytes from
a memory address [1]. But the first thing that
gnutls_x509_crt_set_activation_time() does is overwriting r3 register:

000fb4a0 <gnutls_x509_crt_set_activation_time>:
   fb4a0:       e52de004        push    {lr}            ; (str lr, [sp, #-4]!)
   fb4a4:       e250c000        subs    ip, r0, #0
   fb4a8:       e59f3080        ldr     r3, [pc, #128]  ; fb530 <gnutls_x509_crt_set_activation_time+0x90>
   fb4ac:       e24dd00c        sub     sp, sp, #12
   fb4b0:       e08f3003        add     r3, pc, r3
   fb4b4:       0a000009        beq     fb4e0 <gnutls_x509_crt_set_activation_time+0x40>


With 32-bit time_t the disassembly looks a bit different:

    73e4:       e51b3114        ldr     r3, [fp, #-276] ; 0xfffffeec
    73e8:       e51b10f4        ldr     r1, [fp, #-244] ; 0xffffff0c
    73ec:       e1a00003        mov     r0, r3
    73f0:       ebfff250        bl      3d38 <gnutls_x509_crt_set_activation_time at plt>


1: It should be 'ldrd r2, r3, $memAddr' but the second register is
implied by the first one, so it can be shortened:
