linux-user: Add support for adjtimex() syscall


This patch implements Qemu user mode adjtimex() syscall support.

Syscall adjtimex() reads and optionally sets parameters for a clock
adjustment algorithm used in network synchonization or similar scenarios.

Its declaration is:

int adjtimex(struct timex *buf);

The correspondent source code in the Linux kernel is at kernel/time.c,
line 206.

The Qemu implementation is based on invocation of host's adjtimex(), and
its key part is in the "TARGET_NR_adjtimex" case segment of the the main
switch statement of the function do_syscall(), in linux-user/syscalls.c. All
necessary conversions of the data structures from target to host and from
host to target are covered. Two new functions, target_to_host_timex() and
host_to_target_timex(), are provided for the purpose of such conversions.
For that purpose, the support for related structure "timex" had tp be added
to the file linux-user/syscall_defs.h, based on its definition in Linux
kernel. Also, the relevant support for "-strace" Qemu option is included
in files linux-user/strace.c and linux-user/strace.list.

This patch also fixes failures of LTP tests adjtimex01 and adjtimex02, if
executed in Qemu user mode.
