Prevent overflows in timers

Description

Richard Kettlewell reports that overflows may occur in the way timers are currently computed.

  • OVERartcheck and OVERtime in nnrpd code
  • statistics->busy and total in backends/overchan.c
  • STATUSgettime() in innd/status.c
  • a few other uses of timeval on 32-bit platforms

Perhaps the best approach is to use 64-bit types throughout.
