[PATCH] Use mingw.h declarations for gmtime_r/localtime_r on msys2

STALE1787d

Older versions of msys2 had _POSIX_THREAD_SAFE_FUNCTIONS set in
pthread_unistd.h, included from unistd.h. That would enable the
declarations for gmtime_r and localtime_r in time.h.

That's not the case anymore, and gmtime_r and localtime_r end up
being undeclared, which subsequently leads to "miscompilations", for
example, in datestamp(), where the result of localtime_r would be
truncated and sign-extended before being passed to tm_to_time_t, leading
to segfaults at runtime.

A possible alternative fix would be to e.g. add `#define _POSIX_C_SOURCE
200112L` to git-compat-util.h and add `ifndef __MINGW64_VERSION_MAJOR`
around the definitions of `gmtime_r` and `localtime_r` in
compat/mingw.c, since, after all, they are available there.
