y2038: Remove newstat family from default syscall set
We have four generations of stat() syscalls:
- the oldstat syscalls that are only used on the older architectures
- the newstat family that is used on all 64-bit architectures but
lacked support for large files on 32-bit architectures.
- the stat64 family that is used mostly on 32-bit architectures to
replace newstat
- statx() to replace all of the above, adding 64-bit timestamps among
other things.
We already compile stat64 only on those architectures that need it,
but newstat is always built, including on those that don't reference
it. This adds a new __ARCH_WANT_NEW_STAT symbol along the lines of
__ARCH_WANT_OLD_STAT and __ARCH_WANT_STAT64 to control compilation of
newstat. All architectures that need it use an explict define, the
others now get a little bit smaller, and future architecture (including
64-bit targets) won't ever see it.
