syscall: unify NsecToTime{spec,val}, fix for times < 1970

All the implementations of NsecToTimespec and NsecToTimeval were the
same other than types. Write a single version that uses
GOARCH/GOOS-specific setTimespec and setTimeval functions to handle the
types.

The logic in NsecToTimespec and NsecToTimeval caused times before 1970
to have a negative usec/nsec. The Linux kernel requires that usec
contain a positive number; for consistency, we do this for both
NsecToTimespec and NsecToTimeval.
