unix: implement getitimer(2) and setitimer(2) on Linux

Wrap the low-level system calls with a more idiomatic Go API and a set of
constants to indicate which timer should be queried or modified.

man 2 getitimer indicates that these system calls are obsolete as of
POSIX.1-2008, but the code I am working on has not been ported to the modern
timer_gettime(2) and timer_settime(2) APIs as of yet.
