This patchset was prompted by a couple of Coverity warnings
(CID 1507157, 1517772) which note that in the m48t59 RTC device model
we keep an offset in a time_t variable but then truncate it by
passing it to qemu_get_timedate(), which currently uses an 'int'
argument for its offset parameter.

We can fix the Coverity complaint by making qemu_get_timedate()
take a time_t; we should also correspondingly make the
qemu_timedate_diff() function return a time_t. However this
will only push the issue out to callers of qemu_timedate_diff()
if they are putting the result in a 32-bit variable or doing
32-bit arithmetic on it.

Luckily there aren't that many callers of qemu_timedate_diff()
and most of them already use either time_t or int64_t for the
calculations they do on its return value. The first three
patches fix devices which weren't doing that; patch four then
fixes the rtc.c functions. If I missed any callsites in devices
then hopefully Coverity will point them out.

Do we need to change the type of the RTC_CHANGE event?

This is wrong, but to give an idea:

 # @RTC_CHANGE:

 # Emitted when the guest changes the RTC time.

 # @offset: offset in seconds between base RTC clock (as specified by

 # @qom-path: path to the RTC object in the QOM tree
