Subject: [PATCH] Add timestamp helper functions

Add k5-int.h helper functions to manipulate krb5_timestamp values,
avoiding undefined behavior and treating negative timestamp values as
times between 2038 and 2106.  Add a doxygen comment for krb5_timestamp
indicating how third-party code should use it safely.
