The change of tv_nsec to 32-bit comes from libc 0.2.178, which we're using on AIX currently. However, I'm uncertain if this update is appropriate at this time for all targets.

It is always fine to bump libc to a newer compatible version

What does this PR do
On AIX, libc >= 0.2.178 exposes
timespec.tv_nsecas 32-bit (c_int) on both32- and 64-bit systems to match the platform ABI. This PR updates nix to use
the same width.
This change also eliminates the E0308 mismatched-type errors when building nix
and dependents on AIX with libc 0.2.178+, and keeps FFI layout consistent with the
underlying system ABI.
