Unlike USER_PROCESS, which is defined in all versions of Android's <utmp.h>,
BOOT_TIME is only defined in newer versions.
When compiling against an older version, we need to use the value from the
newer versions — otherwise a binary built against an older version might
not work right when running on a newer Android.
This patch does it.
