Fix build failure ('major' undefined) in glibc 2.28. (#746)

glibc 2.28 no longer defines 'major' and 'minor' in <sys/types.h> and
requires us to include <sys/sysmacros.h>. (glibc 2.25 starts
deprecating the macros in <sys/types.h>.) Now do include the latter if
found on the system.

At the moment, let's also utilize AC_HEADER_MAJOR in configure script.
However as Autoconf 2.69 has not yet updated the AC_HEADER_MAJOR macro
to reflect the glibc change [1], so add a workaround code.

Fixes #663. Supersedes pull request #729.
