NOTE This is an ABI change for AARCH64.
If you have some AARCH32 and AARCH64 applications and they both use
utmp, one of them will fail due to the use of time_t inside the
utmp binary format.

This fixes the problem by setting __WORDSIZE_TIME64_COMPAT32.

* sysdeps/aarch64/bits/wordsize.h: New file.

Shouldn't that imply symbol version changes for affected functions (I'm 
not sure how much compat functions at the old versions could do, given 
there's a file format change involved here, but it still seems prudent to 
avoid binaries expecting the new format running the libc built for the old 
format), and warnings in NEWS?

IIRC we already had such a migration in 2002.
