Implement a new check that tests for Y2038 problems

Uwe Kleine-König requested to merge ukleinek/lintian:time32 into master

glibc on 32 bit architectures defaults to 32 bit types to hold timestamps. These cannot hold dates later than Jan 19 2038. With the right cpp defines a 64bit type can be used which is future-proof for quite some time.

I think this is a pressing matter, so I'd like to drop "Experimental: yes", but I sticked to it because that's what the LFS check does, too.
