configure: Fix test for fs_base/gs_base in <sys/user.h>
Make <sys/types.h> be included prior to including <sys/user.h>.
glibc versions older than 2.14 use __uintNN_t types within certain
structures defined in <sys/user.h> probably assuming these types are
defined prior to including the header. This results in the following
`configure` feature test compilation error that makes it think that
`struct user_regs_struct` doesn't have `fs_base`/`gs_base` fields,
althouh it does.

Recent glibc versions don't use typedef'ed int types in <sys/user.h>,
thus allowing it to be included as is
(glibc commit d79a9c949c84e7f0ba33e87447c47af833e9f11a).
However there're still some distros alive that use older glibc,
for instance, RHEL/CentOS 6 package glibc 2.12.
Also affects PR gdb/21559:
../../gdb/regcache.c:1087: internal-error: void regcache_raw_supply(regcache, int, const void): Assertion `regnum >= 0 && regnum < regcache->descr->nr_raw_registers' failed.
As noted by Andrew Paprocki, who submitted the PR
(https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21559#c3):
> It should be noted that modifying `configure` to force on
> `HAVE_STRUCT_USER_REGS_STRUCT_FS_BASE` and
> `HAVE_STRUCT_USER_REGS_STRUCT_GS_BASE` fixes this issue. For some
> reason the `configure` tests for `fs_base` and `gs_base` fail
> even though `sys/user.h` on RHEL5 has the fields defined in
> `user_regs_struct`.
Note that this patch does NOT fix the root cause of PR gdb/21559,
although now that `configure` properly detects the presence of the
fields and sets HAVE_XXX accordingly, the execution takes another
path, which doesn't lead to the assertion failure in question.
