[PATCH] linux: Fix stat layout divergence under pre-POSIX.1-2008 macros [BZ #32119]

The struct stat layout must not depend on the feature-test macros in
use. Currently there are three divergences:
- bits/struct_stat_time64_helper.h tests __BYTE_ORDER without
including <bits/endian.h>. In strict pre-POSIX.1-2008 modes both
operands are undefined, the big-endian member order is selected
on little-endian targets, displacing the time64 nanosecond fields
on targets whose bits/struct_stat.h does not already include
<bits/endian.h> (x86, mips o32/n32, microblazeel).
- The same helper adds two reserved words only when POSIX.1-2008
interfaces are hidden, making the public time64 structure larger
under older feature-test macros.
- The generic bits/struct_stat.h declares the strict-mode timestamps
as a bare seconds/nanoseconds pair with no endianness handling or
explicit padding. On 32-bit ports with 64-bit time_t whose ABI
aligns 64-bit types to 4 bytes, the timestamps end up packed 12
bytes apart instead of 16 (arc); on big-endian the nanoseconds also
land on the wrong side of the padding (or1k). This triggers with
plain -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200112L, without any _TIME_BITS opt-in,
since time_t is always 64-bit on such ports.
Fix the helper by including <bits/endian.h>, and give the generic
header the same endianness-aware nanosecond padding as
<bits/types/struct_timespec.h>.
For the reserved words, instead of removing them unify all
feature-test-macro modes on the largest layout. The internal
__stat64_t64 does not write on them, so libc keeps writing the same
number of bytes and previously built objects using the smaller
default-mode structure remain correct (newly built objects will
over-allocate bytes).
The resulting sizeof (struct stat) changes, with _TIME_BITS=64 for
the first two rows (the time32 layouts are unchanged) and with any
feature-test macro combination on the time64-only arc and or1k:
ABI default and pre-POSIX.1-2008
POSIX.1-2008 strict modes
i686, csky, m68k, microblaze,
sh 108 -> 116 116 (unchanged)
arm, hppa, mips o32/n32,
powerpc32, sparc32 112 -> 120 120 (unchanged)
arc, or1k 128 (unchanged) 116 -> 128
Add a compile-only Python test based on glibcextract that compares
sizeof and the member offsets of struct stat across several feature
modes on all configurations.
