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

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.
