grep: re-fix Y2038 bug on glibc 2.34+ x86, ARM
The meaning of AC_SYS_LARGEFILE has changed to no longer even try to use wider time_t if available. So use AC_SYS_YEAR2038 as well. A more-aggressive change would be to use the next Autoconf’s AC_SYS_YEAR2038_REQUIRED but at least let’s restore the grep 3.8 behavior. * NEWS: Mention this. * bootstrap.conf: Add year2038.
