Merge branch 'as/utimensat-utimes' into jch

The codebase has been updated to use the newer utimensat() POSIX
function instead of the obsolescent utime(), allowing
high-precision timestamps while preserving fallback compatibility.

* as/utimensat-utimes:
  compat/posix: drop legacy <utime.h> header and shims
  treewide: use utimensat(2) instead of legacy utime(3p)
  compat/posix: introduce utimensat(2) wrapper
