Autoconf 2.59d (released in 2006) [1] started promoting several macros
as not relevant for newer systems anymore, including the `AC_HEADER_TIME`.
This macro checks if both `<sys/time.h>` and `<time.h>` can be included
at the same time and defines the `TIME_WITH_SYS_TIME` and
`HAVE_SYS_TIME_H` symbols. On current system such check is not relevant
anymore because in case both headers are present both can be also
included at the same time.
This patch simplifies this checking.

Autoconf 2.59d (released in 2006) [1] started promoting several macros
as not relevant for newer systems, including the `AC_C_CONST`.
The `const` keyword is used in C since C89. On old systems some compilers
lacked the `const` and this macro defined it to be empty. This check was
relevant on systems with compilers before C89 and on current systems it
can be omitted. [2]
PHP also requires at least C89 so `const` is always available.
