#137: Prevent overflows in timers

---------------------+-------------------
 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.
