Add fields to the superblock to track the min and max timestamps supported by filesystems.
Initially, when a superblock is allocated, initialize it to the max and min values the fields can hold. Individual filesystems override these to match their actual limits.
Pseudo filesystems are assumed to always support the min and max allowable values for the fields.
Note that the time ranges are save in type time64_t rather than time_t. This is required because if we save ranges in time_t then we would not be able to save timestamp ranges for files that support timestamps beyond y2038.

Allow read only mounts for filesystems that do not have maximum timestamps beyond the y2038 expiry timestamp.
Also, allow a sysctl override to all such filesystems to be mounted with write permissions.
Alternatively, a mount option can be created to allow or disallow range check based clamps and the least max timestamp supported.
If we take the sysctl approach, then the plan is to also add a boot param to support initial override of these checks without recompilation.

timespec_trunc() function is used to truncate a filesystem timestamp to the right granularity. But, the function does not clamp tv_sec part of the timestamps according to the filesystem timestamp limits.
Also, timespec_trunc() is exclusively used for filesystem timestamps. Move the api to be part of vfs.
The replacement api: timestamp_truncate() also alters the signature of the function to accommodate filesystem timestamp clamping according to flesystem limits.
Note that clamp_t macro is used for clamping here as vfs is not yet using struct timespec64 internally. This is only for compilation purposes. The actual patch can only be merged after the vfs is transitioned to use timespec64 for correct operation of clamp macro. At which point, clamp_t() will be replaced by clamp().

POSIX.1 section for futimens, utimensat and utimes says: The file's relevant timestamp shall be set to the greatest value supported by the file system that is not greater than the specified time.
Clamp the timestamps accordingly before assignment.
