ntpd: make NTP client and server Y2036/2038-ready
The 32-bit integer part of the NTP timestamp overflows in year 2036,
which starts the second NTP era.
Modify the timestamp conversion to shift values between 1900-1970 (in
the first era) to the second era to enable the client to measure its
offset correctly until year 2106 (assuming 64-bit time_t).
Also update the conversion from double used when stepping the clock to
work with 64-bit time_t after reaching the maximum 32-bit value in 2038
and the server conversion to work correctly in the next NTP era.
