Proposal: Add CUSeconds, CSUSeconds to Foreign.C.Types, and fix definition of CTimeval

[Bas van Dijk]

It would also be great if CTimeval could be exported from somewhere.
It is already being used in the event manager, the time package and
yesterday Johan Dobbelstein send me a patch to add it to usb:

https://github.com/basvandijk/usb/blob/async/Timeval.hs

Would Foreign.C.Types be a good place to export it from?
