These sys/cdefs.h are not needed. Purge them. They are mostly left-over
from the $FreeBSD$ removal. A few in libc are still required for macros
that cdefs.h defines. Keep those.

(cherry picked from commit 559a218c9b257775fb249b67945fe4a05b7a6b9f)
Since they were never documented and have never appeared in a FreeBSD
release, no repo-copy of the header is done. This removes namespace
pollution from <time.h>.
time_to_xxx() and xxx_to_time() functions. e.g. _time_to_xxx()
instead of time_to_xxx(), to make it more obvious that these are
stopgap functions & placemarkers and not meant to create a defacto
standard. They will eventually be replaced when a real standard
comes out of committee.
serve two purposes: (1) so we can maintain backwards compatibility with
protocols (rwhod, dump, etc...) that either assume time_t is 32 bits or
assume sizeof(time_t) == sizeof(int), or make other similar assumptions.
(2) To tag such routines (by the presence of these calls) for future
cleanup/extension work.
The 32->64 routine, time32_to_time() (when time_t is 64 bits, that is),
is defined specifically to implement temporal locality to properly set the
msb bits of a 64 bit time_t quantity, using the 50 year rule. The locality
code has not been implemented yet (and doesn't need to be for a while),
but that is the intent. This will allow us to maintain backwards protocol
compatibility past 2038.
These routines are intended to be platform and time_t agnostic.
