syscalls: 'define-c-struct' computes the struct size.

* guix/build/syscalls.scm (struct-alignment, struct-size): New macros.
(define-c-struct): Add 'size' parameter and honor it.
(sockaddr-in, sockaddr-in6, ifaddrs, winsize): Adjust accordingly.
(%struct-ifaddrs-type, %sizeof-ifaddrs, winsize-struct): Remove.
(terminal-window-size): Use 'make-bytevector' instead of 'make-c-struct'.
