[PATCH 2/4] selftests/rseq: Implement rseq_unqual_scalar_typeof

[Mathieu Desnoyers]

Allow defining variables and perform cast with a typeof which removes
the volatile and const qualifiers.

This prevents declaring a stack variable with a volatile qualifier
within a macro, which would generate sub-optimal assembler.

This is imported from the "librseq" project.
