The meaning of AC_SYS_LARGEFILE has changed to no longer even try
to use wider time_t if available. So use AC_SYS_YEAR2038 as well.
A more-aggressive change would be to use the next Autoconf’s
AC_SYS_YEAR2038_REQUIRED but at least let’s restore the grep 3.8
behavior.
* NEWS: Mention this.
* bootstrap.conf: Add year2038.

grep 3.8, in that patterns like \w and \b use ASCII rather than
Unicode interpretations.
+ grep no longer fails on files dated after the year 2038,
+ when running on 32-bit x86 and ARM hosts using glibc 2.34+.
+ [bug introduced in grep 3.9]

* Noteworthy changes in release 3.10 (2023-03-22) [stable]
