mingw: avoid fallback for {local,gm}time_r()
mingw-w64's pthread_unistd.h had a bug that mistakenly (because there is
no support for the *lockfile() functions required[1]) defined
_POSIX_THREAD_SAFE_FUNCTIONS and that was being worked around since
3ecd153a3b (compat/mingw: support MSys2-based MinGW build, 2016-01-14).
The bug was fixed in winphtreads, but as a side effect, leaves the
reentrant functions from time.h no longer visible and therefore breaks
the build.
Since the intention all along was to avoid using the fallback functions,
formalize the use of POSIX by setting the corresponding feature flag and
compile out the implementation for the fallback functions.
