Remove support for unsigned time_t

We've never actually tested this support, and we should probably assume
it's broken.

To the best of my knowledge, only OpenVMS has this, and even on
OpenVMS it's a compile-time option to disable it.  And I don't think
we build on openvms anyway.  (Everybody else seems to be working
around the 2038 problem by using a 64-bit time_t, which won't expire
for roughly 292 billion years.)

Closes ticket 18184.

+  o Removed platform support:
+    - Tor no longer attempts to support platforms where the "time_t" type
+      is unsigned.  (To the best of our knowledge, only OpenVMS does this,
+      and Tor has never actually built on OpenVMS.)  Closes ticket 18184.
