PatR e815498f07 git issue #838 - old time manipulation for BSD ...

Issue #838 from clausecker, relayed by copperwater:  old workarounds
for lack of type 'time_t' from pre-standard days aren't suitable any
more.  One of the instances was incorrect (diagnosed by entrez) and
no one had noticed for years (or possibly just ignored a compiler
warning).

Remove most of the old cruft from hacklib.c and some from system.h
but put in commented workarounds in unixconf.h in case someone needs
to resurrect it.  It would have been better to do things this way
back in the old days.

Resurrecting some non-Unix port might need to clone the unixconf.h
bits in its own *conf.h, but that probably won't be necessary for a
standard C compliant system.

Closes #838
