The part regarding <time.h> was unncessary, since POSIX:2008 want pid_t in
<time.h> only under "CPT" shading. The test actually failed to compile on
MacOS X 10.5, FreeBSD 6.4, OpenBSD 4.9, mingw. I'm undoing this:

time tests: Don't require pid_t.
* doc/posix-headers/time.texi: Revert last change.
* m4/time_h.m4 (gl_HEADER_TIME_H_BODY): Revert last change.
* tests/test-time.c: Comment out the check for pid_t.
