If CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME is disabled then the vDSO should not
provide any 32-bit time related functionality. This is the intended
effect of the kconfig option and also the fallback system calls would
also not be implemented.

I also tried to introduce some helpers to avoid much of the ifdeffery,
but due to the high variance in the architecture-specific glue code
these would need to handle, they ended up being worse than the current
proposal.

As a side-effect this will make the self-tests more reliable,
as there is now always a matching syscall available for each vDSO function.

clock_getres_time64() was only introduced in v6.19, so libc implementations
are likely not using it yet.

Changes in v3:
- Pick up tags.
- Fix incorrect references gettimeofday() in per-arch commit messages.
- Test for CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME over __WANT_OLD_TIME_TYPE_SYSCALL in compat_settimeofday()
- Link to v2: https://patch.msgid.link/20260630-vdso-compat_32bit_time-v2-0-520d194640dd@linutronix.de

Changes in v2:
- Also handle SPARC.
- Drop MIPS cleanup patches.
- Also handle gettimeofday().
- Add more static validations.
- Rebase on v7.2-rc1.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260227-vdso-compat_32bit_time-v1-0-3f0286a7bac3@linutronix.de
