The interfaces defined in sys/timex.h only need struct timeval, not
any of the other things defined in sys/time.h.
While I was at it I moved stuff around so that sysdeps/…/linux/bits/timex.h
defines everything that uapi linux/timex.h defines (as of version 5.0;
alas, we still cannot use linux/timex.h directly) plus the
MOD_CLKA and MOD_CLKB constants. In particular, the TIME_* constants
are relevant to users of clock_adjtime as well as adjtimex (I presume—
clock_adjtime is not very well documented) so they should be visible
from time.h as well as sys/timex.h. Conversely, as far as I can tell,
struct ntptimeval was never a kernel interface on Linux, and MAXTC is
not part of the exposed API and also has the wrong value for current
kernels. Also I removed a thoroughly obsolete bug workaround from
ntp_gettime.c and ntp_gettimex.c.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sys/timex.h: Don’t include sys/time.h.
Update commentary. Don’t define MAXTC. Move definition of
NTP_API and the TIME_* constants...
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/bits/timex.h: ...here.
Allow inclusion only by sys/timex.h and bits/time.h.
Update commentary.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/ntp_gettime.c
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/ntp_gettimex.c: Remove obsolete
check for MOD_OFFSET not being defined.
