Macros will automatically use the correct types, without
having to fiddle with internal glibc macros. It's also
impossible to get the types wrong due to aliasing because
support_check_stat_fd and support_check_stat_path do not
depend on the struct stat* types.
The changes reveal some inconsistencies in tests.

I used these shell commands:
../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")
and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:
copyright statement not found" for each of 7061 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from math/tgmath.h,
support/tst-support-open-dev-null-range.c, and
sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strlen-vec.S, to work around the following
obscure pre-commit check failure diagnostics from Savannah. I don't
know why I run into these diagnostics whereas others evidently do not.

It operates similar to execve and it is is already used to implement
fexecve without requiring /proc to be mounted. However, different
than fexecve, if the syscall is not supported by the kernel an error
is returned instead of trying a fallback.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and powerpc64le-linux-gnu.
