data structures and backend internal APIs. This solves problems we've seen recently with inconsistent layout of pg_control between machines that have 32-bit time_t and those that have already migrated to 64-bit time_t. Also, we can get out from under the problem that Windows' Unix-API emulation is not consistent about the width of time_t. There are a few remaining places where local time_t variables are used to hold the current or recent result of time(NULL). I didn't bother changing these since they do not affect any cross-module APIs and surely all platforms will have 64-bit time_t before overflow becomes an actual risk. time_t should be avoided for anything visible to extension modules, however.
