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.
