bug: time_t is the wrong size on i686-musl

[remexre]

Did you check docs and existing issues?

• I have read all the lazy.nvim docs
• I have updated the plugin to the latest version before submitting this issue
• I have searched the existing issues of lazy.nvim
• I have searched the existing issues of plugins related to this issue

Neovim version (nvim -v)

v0.11.0-dev-1201+g0e2f92ed79

Operating system/version

Alpine Linux v3.14

Describe the bug

(Note: this reproduces on a wide variety of Neovim commits, and on later versions of Alpine and on Gentoo with a musl profile.)

lazy.nvim segfaults on i686-musl systems. It seems that this can be fixed with the following patch:

The typedef long time_t; is certainly incorrect here -- long is int32_t on i686, but time_t is int64_t.

(This is insufficient to fix the segfault, but it's at least an easy thing to fix.)

FWIW, an example stack trace on segfault is:

How exactly we get to gc_sweep differs, but the trace always ends in those same frames #0-#3.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Be on an i686-musl platform. (The muslcc/i686:i686-linux-musl Docker container is sufficient.)

2. Use the following init.lua:

   -- Bootstrap lazy.nvim
   local lazypath = vim.fn.stdpath("data") .. "/lazy/lazy.nvim"
   if not (vim.uv or vim.loop).fs_stat(lazypath) then
     local lazyrepo = "https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim.git"
     local out = vim.fn.system({ "git", "clone", "--filter=blob:none", "--branch=stable", lazyrepo, lazypath })
     if vim.v.shell_error ~= 0 then
       vim.api.nvim_echo({
         { "Failed to clone lazy.nvim:\n", "ErrorMsg" },
         { out, "WarningMsg" },
         { "\nPress any key to exit..." },
       }, true, {})
       vim.fn.getchar()
       os.exit(1)
     end
   end
   vim.opt.rtp:prepend(lazypath)
   
   -- Make sure to setup `mapleader` and `maplocalleader` before
   -- loading lazy.nvim so that mappings are correct.
   -- This is also a good place to setup other settings (vim.opt)
   vim.g.mapleader = " "
   vim.g.maplocalleader = "\\"
   
   -- Setup lazy.nvim
   require("lazy").setup({
   })
   
   collectgarbage()

3. Open nvim ~/.config/nvim/init.lua (or another not-tiny file; if it doesn't repro, open another/larger file)

4. Get a segfault

Expected Behavior

Don't segfault

Repro

vim.env.LAZY_STDPATH = ".repro"
load(vim.fn.system("curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/folke/lazy.nvim/main/bootstrap.lua"))()

require("lazy.minit").repro({
  spec = {
    -- add any other plugins here
  },
})

-- not always necessary
collectgarbage()

So your fix is to just disable the cpu time??

[remexre]

Not a fix, a "debugging patch" -- it seems that it's pointing at that block as being related to the problem. The time_t definition, I can at least verify as being ABI-incorrect, so it could be the cause of the memory corruption, but I think there's something else there too (since just changing it to long long is insufficient to fix the segfault.)
