various: timespec/timeval.tv_sec is time_t, not long, according to POSIX

[kanavin]

This matters on 32 bit systems configured with 64 bit time_t (so they survive beyond 2038). Casting them to long is causing loss of bits and badly mismatched time data.

I've approved the workflow to run, but don't know how portable this change is, since tv_sec might still be defined as a long in some platforms.

I think this is fine.

For maximum consistency it could use Time_t instead of time_t but there's already plenty of core code that uses time_t.

Can you help me understand the single failure?

1. You have made changes to dist/threads-shared/shared.xs. This requires you to increment $VERSION in the corresponding .pm file, i.e., dist/threads-shared/lib/threads/shared.pm.
2. You need to add your name and email address to AUTHORS. I believe you can do this by running perl Porting/updateAUTHORS.pl.
   After the above steps, run make test_porting to confirm that those errors have been corrected, then run the full suite (make test_harness) once more, then commit and re-push.

Thanks, I've done those changes.

The version number is reiterated in the POD on line 1.99, so probably (as per the comment) should be updated to 1.69.
