[GPGME PATCH] core: use getdents64 syscall on linux instead of getdents.

[Daniel Kahn Gillmor]

* src/posix-io.c (get_max_fds): use getdents64 instead of getdents.
--

getdents64 was introduced in linux 2.4, so it should be widely
available.  some Linux architectures which post-date 2.4 (e.g. arm64)
appear to not have getdents at all, so it's probably better to use the
more modern interface.
