pcap time types issue in posix envoronment

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Build pcap on a Linux ssytem using Musl libc not glibc

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Should build. Instead see
# code.google.com/p/gopacket/pcap
38: error: '__time_t' undeclared (first use in this function)
38: error: '__suseconds_t' undeclared (first use in this function)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
f082f8277fb7d43caea5a997f615a33bf65fa102
on Alpine Linux 3.0.

Please provide any additional information below.

Musl libc just provides the Posix type names not any typedefs. Changing the 
conditionals as below so that the Posix types are the default seems entirely 
correct...

The following patch fixes the issue and also works fine on glibc

Fixed, thanks!

Unfortunately, I don't have a non-glibc POSIX environment to test on, but 
please pull down the current master and let me know if you have any issues.
