Introduce __kernel_[u]long_t, which allows an ABI to override all
defaults of type [unsigned] long.
This enables x32 and potentially other 32-bit userspace on 64-bit
kernel ABIs.

<asm/posix_types.h> includes a set of macros that operate on file
descriptors. Way long ago those were exported to user space, but
nowadays they are #ifdef __KERNEL__.
However, they are nothing but standard (nonatomic) bit operations, and
we already have optimized versions of bit operations in the kernel.
We can't include <linux/bitops.h> in <asm/posix_types.h> but we can
move the definitions to <linux/time.h> and define them there in terms
of standard kernel bitops.
[ v2: folds the following fixes in:
a) Stray space in __FD_SET(), reported by Andrew Morton
b) #include <linux/string.h> needed for memset(), reported by Tony Luck ]

__kernel_fsid_t has members of type "long" on at least one
architecture (MIPS32), so make it possible to override the definition.

All ports use unsigned int for __kernel_[ug]id32_t, but not all ports
use unsigned int for __kernel_[ug]id_t. Thus, change the default for
the "32" types so ports don't need to override them.

These header files are typically copied from an existing architecture
into any new one, slightly modified and then remain untouched until
the end of time in the name of ABI stability.
To make it easier for future architectures, provide a sane generic
version here. In cases where multiple architectures already use
identical code, I used the most common version. In cases like
stat.h that are more or less broken everywhere, I provide a
version that is meant to be ideal for new architectures.
