linux: futex v2 API updates

* `futex2_waitv` always takes a 64-bit timespec.  Perhaps the
  `kernel_timespec` should be renamed `timespec64`?  Its used in iouring,
  too.

* Add `packed struct` for futex v2 flags and parameters.

* Add very basic "tests" for the futex v2 syscalls (just to ensure the
  code compiles).

* Update the stale or broken comments.  (I could also just delete these
  they're not really documenting Zig-specific behavior.)

Given that the futex2 APIs are not used by Zig's library (they're a bit
too new), and the fact that these are very specialized syscalls, and they
currently provide no benefit over the existing v1 API, I wonder if instead
of fixing these up, we should just replace them with a stub that says 'use
a 3rd party library'.
