Auto merge of #2550 - de-vri-es:restore-ioctl-types, r=JohnTitor
Use libc specific type for architecture specific ioctl defines on Linux.
This PR should fix the type change of some ioctl constants on Linux introduced by #2530.
It does this by adding a `#[doc(hidden)]` type called `Ioctl`, which is defined in libc specific modules and used in arch specific modules.
However, when doing this I noticed that when I added `TCGETS2`, `TCSETS2`, ... in #2508, I unconditionally used `c_ulong`. This is inconsistent with the other ioctl constants for `musl` and `uclibc`. This PR also changes those to use the libc specific types. However, PR #2508 has already been released in 0.2.107, so technically that is also a semver incompatible change. The impact is limited to new constants introduced in the last release, and only on `musl` and `uclibc` targets.
So what is more important here? Consistency in the type of ioctl constants, or being very strict with backwards compatibility? If it is the latter, I'll revert `TCGETS2` etc to `c_ulong` for this PR.
