    adjust utmpx struct layout for time64, 32-/64-bit arch compat · 1e7f0fcd

    since time64 switchover has changed the size and layout of the struct
    anyway, take the opportunity to fix it up so that it can be shared
    between 32- and 64-bit ABIs on the same system as long as byte order
    matches.
    
    the ut_type member is explicitly padded to make up for m68k having
    only 2-byte alignment; explicit padding has no effect on other archs.
    
    ut_session is changed from long to int, with endian-matched padding.
    this affects 64-bit archs as well, but brings the type into alignment
    with glibc's x86_64 struct, so it should not break software, and does
    not break on-disk format. the semantic type is int (pid-like) anyway.
    the padding produces correct alignment for the ut_tv member on 32-bit
    archs that don't naturally align it, so that ABI matches 64-bit.
    
    this type is presently not used anywhere in the ABI between libc and
    libc consumers; it's only used between pairs of consumers if a
    third-party utmp library using the system utmpx.h is in use.
