afs uses 32-bit timestamps everywhere, but mixes signed and unsigned usage, which is a bit inconsistent. In particular on 32-bit machines, it currently uses unsigned timestamps (ranging from 1970 to 2106) for locally modified files, but signed timestamps (rand 1902 to 2038) when reading from a remote end. On 64-bit machines, we always interpret timestamps as unsigned here.
This replaces the deprecated time_t with a new explicitly unsigned afs_time32_t to get a consistent interpretation of inode times according the the wire protocol definition.
This avoids the y2038 overflow on 32-bit machines, extending the range to the end of the afs_time32_t in year 2106. On 64-bit machines, using the shorter type saves a few bytes for each afs_file_status and afs_volsync saves a few bytes over time_t or time64_t.
Note that mtime_server and struct afs_volsync are not currently used in any meaningful way and could be removed completely.
